Hi there. I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer at age 32. I know it's overwhelming right now, but please know that there is hope and a future for us diagnosed at a young age. I had a giant tumor but was fortunate that chemo destroyed it all and I am now 3 years into remission, enjoying life and watching my little kids grow up. I'm a part of a group called Young Survival Coalition, which is one resource specific to AYA patients (young adults with cancer) and I've met many young women with stage 4 cancer who are living years and even decades with no active evidence of disease. There are new treatments and advancements all the time. I also lead a support group for young adult patients at my local Mayo Clinic in Wisconsin, so I'm happy to send you other resources I've compiled if you'd find that helpful. Sending you positive thoughts and strength ❤️Sarah
