Hi
I was told there are young women with MBC but I’m yet to find any….
I’m 33 I have a little boy and was diagnosed in June 2023 with TN MBC. I have been on immunotherapy and chemotherapy for three months now.

Hi, please get in contact with the Younger Breast Cancer Network (YBCN) for women dx’d who are under 45. Can be found on X and on Facebook and insta: @ybcn_uk
They have a main group for newly diagnosed, various sub-groups for different areas of the UK, a secondaries group and a research group. They are AMAZING and you will find lots of support and other people who get it. You’re not alone XX

Hello,
I was 39 when I was diagnosed in December 2020. My children were 2 and 6 years old and I was diagnosed de novo with no family history. I’ve been on the BCN young persons retreat and we’ve stayed in touch since then. Younger Women with Secondaries Together | Breast Cancer Now
There are also online sessions.
If you ever need to ask anything then this forum is here for you.
Whereabouts do you live? I’m in Reading and go to the monthly meet-ups at Future Dreams House, organised by Make 2nds Count. Quite a lot of us are under 45 there.

tibblek thank you for sharing with forum for younger women Shi xx
Kings Cross is where Future Dreams House is so that might not be too difficult to get to.
I come from Upminster, but I know Essex is a big place.
