    hello

    I'm new to this I was diagnosed at 33 this past May, stage 2a 2/27 nodes ER/PR+ HER2- I have 3 kids under 3 and just finished chemo I'm looking to connect with other ladies my age. It's so hard struggling through this while having to stay positive for my kids. The stats are scary especially for this age group. Just looking for support I have so many ups and downs it's tough to not worry.

    wintergal. I was diagnosed June of this year. Stage 2, 2 affected nodes (9 mm in one) multi focal disease in breast, grade 3. Two young kids as well. The stats are scary. I feel like I'm up and down a lot too. The uncertainty is terrifying. I try focus on what I can do myself after treatment in terms of diet,exercise etc. I want to feel I gave myself every chance. But it is scary. Your not alone in that!


    One dose of chemo left then radiation. It's tough going, I've had one v long delay (3 weeks after first dose due to wound infection) and that terrifies me too. But how are you doing? Pm anytime.

    hi, i was just diagnosed a little over a month ago. Stage 2b I think (waiting on onco visit to confirm). Had lumpectomy already and sentinel node positive (3.5mm tumor in my node)-it was removed. Other than that I dont know much. I know I will start chemo-most likely at the end of Jan. Have no idea though how many rounds of chemo is standard for a person my age (37) and my stage...

    I am in Chicago and would love to find support group with ladies my age

    welcome DxAt37!

    I'm sorry to hear you are going through this, I am fairly new to this site but there is lots of support and useful info!

    I finished chemo in November I had 6 rounds of chemo, not sure if the U.S. Is different (I'm in Canada) I started rads in December I'm currently on tamoxifen but only for a few months until my Dr wants to switch me to an Aromatase inhibitor and ovarian suppression. Still trying to decide if having my ovaries is a better option so much info to know! Im here for you! This is a tough boat to be in, but youll find lots of support here

    Hi I'm 36. Have a 10 year old and a 23 month old. Unfortunately, I just received the news by obgyn this Wednesday and now waiting to see the breast surgeon to get more info. Accordingly to the pathology report, it says invasive mammary carcinoma . 3.5 cm on Right breast. My TNM score was 9 altogether which I know means more invasive. It's scary to think about it especially when Googling. I reside in Las Vegas. I'm trying to not let this mess w/me. But until I know more info I feel like I'm in limbo.

    hi Dxat37,

    There is a young women’s group at Gilda’s Club. They are free to join and a great resource. I became a member just a few months ago and I’m so glad I did
