Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 Hi Barb, Yes, sadly, young women do get breast cancer, too, luckily not as often. Was your diagnosis the result of a biopsy? Have you considered a 2nd opinion if you're not sure of the accuracy of the diagnosis? I know you must be very scared - my heart is aching for you. Please let us know how you are doing. We are all here for you and I'm sure many others joining me in sending hugs and prayers. There are young survivors of breast cancer support groups available on line. You can belong to more than one group - you can stay with us AND join another. If you need help finding a young survivor's group, please let me know and I'll do some searching for you.
