  • Hi I totally understand how you feel. I’m five weeks further on and waiting for appt to discuss treatment. Mine is invasive ducal cancer  oestrogen receptive and her2 negative so hopefully don’t need chemo. I’m just starting to get my head around things now tbh do feel free to ask any questions and I will help if I can xxx

    Oh sweetheart thank you for reaching out. It is scary but the symptoms you have are very common at your age. All part of your body changing. Please please talk to your mum or a trusted adult friend who can help you get the reassurance you need. Sending lots of love xx

  • Hi Mzzz,

    It is unlikely that you have breast cancer at your age. Most people who get diagnosed are older, but it can never be ruled out in younger people. Have you discussed this with your mum?  Please make an appointment with you GP, to get your symptoms checked out. We are always advised to do this, if we notice any changes.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
