Hi Just wondered if there were any younger women out there with a secondary dx?
I am 36, newly married but no children, and was diagnosed in Feb 2013, following 18 months of being “cancer free”. Complications since, on top of being triple neg, include having 2 stent operations to unblcok my vena cava vein.
Would welcome other younger women to chat to.

Dear Cupcake_queen,

While you are waiting for other members to respond to your post I thought you may be interested in our publication “A day in the life…” which has contributions from a couple of younger women with secondary breast cancer.

We also have a resource pack which you might find useful:
