Breast Cancer at 28

Hi, I was diagnosed in July - three weeks after turning 28 with HER2+, invasive ductal breast cancer. I am currently on number 4 of my chemo treatment and had a consultation during the week regarding surgery and the fact that my initial diagnosis of a lumpectomy has now been changed to a mastectomy with possibility of it being double mastectomy- which will be my decision. 
 

I don't really know what advice/information/support I am looking for but I find it very difficult meeting many people with my kind of cancer and treatment especially at my age. 
 

I really would just like to hear from anyone in a similar situation to any part of my cancer journey. 
 

Thank you

    I was diagnosed in April after I found a lump in my left breast. Mine too is HER2+ IDC and I am 31 I'm very nearly finished my chemo what treatment are you having? How have you found it? I meet with the surgeon in a few weeks once my chemo is finished.
