Hi there Laura.
Like you I am 28 years old. I was diagnosed with stage 3c breast cancer in October last year.
It's a lonely and scary place to find yourself in at first when you are told of your diagnosis but there are many others like us out there.
If you are on fb I can recommend a secret group called YBCN (Younger Breast Cancer Network). Its a place for women under 40 yrs with breast cancer. I have found it invaluable as talking to other women my age who are going through the same thing has really helped me move on.
I hope you are doing ok and that you have got a clearer picture of your diagnosis now a few weeks on.
Sending you lots of hugs,
Alia
