I'm new to this :D
Hello everyone I am Kylie I am 29 years old and last year I was diagonosed with stage 4 breast cancer.
As does everyone this came as a huge shock as there no history or cancer let alone breast cancer...

Hi Kylie
I hope your treatment is going well. It's a pretty lonely and weird world sometimes havig stage 4 as a yount woman. Much of the support, and the other breast cancer patients you come across have early breast cancer, and its a very different world.
I've met and become great friends with lots of women who've been through early breast cancer, but there's nothing quite like sharing and bonding with other ladies who know exactly what we're going through.
I was 35 when I was diagnosed, and like you, I had seconaderies from the beginning. Unfortunately with no early detection apart from us finding lumps ourselves, it seems to be an all too common story.
Much of the support group type activity takes part on Facebook at the moment. It's still very new, and raw for you, and I know myself and from a lot of other women I've met that support groups and groups in general are a bit overwhelming at first.
When you feel like you are ready, there's a couple worth looking up, including
Support for Women with Advanced Breast Cancer and Young women with Breast Cancer
Best of luck!
