Giving Voice to Canadians Living With Breast Cancer
Information
Young Women
Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis at any age is overwhelming, but hearing you have breast cancer as a young woman can be particularly shocking. There are many specific and unique challenges that young women dealing with breast cancer have to face:
- Coping with the shock of a breast cancer diagnosis
- Understanding the impact on fertility and pregnancy
- Finding emotional support
- Dealing with practical issues such as caring for young children, career disruptions and managing the financial impact of cancer
A metastatic breast cancer diagnosis brings many other challenges which is why we have a separate section specifically for women living with metastatic breast cancer.
Our book Never Too Young also has more information about dealing with this diagnosis as a young woman.
