Being younger
Hi ladies,
I have been doing a study with the cancer council recently. They are interviewing people diagnosed in between 18 and 24. They are looking into how they can make treatment and support groups...
Yep, same issues - fertility, friends, and feeling alone because I knew so few people who had any idea of what I was going through. I was fortunate enough to join a support group for women under 40 (I'm from Canada and was diagnosed there), but I found it was hit and miss. I'm also very fortunate that my GP acted immediately as soon as I found the lump (then again, I'd been complaining about fatigue to him for the 2 1/2 years before I found the lump!). It's been a struggle to get back to "life as normal", and the next challenge will be starting a family - we'll see how that goes!
