Hi Leanne
I do hope you have some comfort in the fact that many young women live great lives after Breast cancer. Check out my profile pic, all three of us young women were diagnosed in our 30's and have just had a lovely time catching up with loads of young women at the Young womens cancer conference at the Gold Coast last month, It does happen quickly and I am sure you are still pinching yourself that it is not a bad dream,
I had a mastcomy in 2007 and have just had reconstruc tion earlier this year, chemo is not nice but is doeable and has come along way in recent years with anti nausea etc. Neutsla injections (white cell booster). My children were 2 and 4 during chemo but we still did normal stuff when I was well (really only 4 days out of every cycle that was tough), kids parties, shopping, out to dinner the movies. it is only gonna consume you if you let it.
Good luck, things will settle down with time, patience and support from loved ones. Glad you found this site, dont be a stranger and never feel alone.
