Breast cancer at 30 years old

Hi 

I have been diagnosed yesterday with breast cancer grade 3, I have no other information yet regarding treatment. 
it was such a shock for me as they had said they were sure it was a fibroidodema . 
im back at the hospital today to check my lymph nodes . 
wondering if there are any others going through this at my age ?

  • Hi Georgina, 

    What a shock it must have been for you to be diagnosed with breast cancer at such a young age and it must be even harder right now as you are waiting to find out more information about treatment. It must have been all the more of a blow as you were expecting to be told it was a fibroadenoma as predicted. How did the hospital appointment to check your lymph nodes go?

    I hope that you get more information soon on your treatment and in the meantime you might be interested in reading the information we have on our website on treatment for breast cancer. This is bound to be a time when you will have lots of questions racing through your head and if you wanted to talk to our cancer nurses at any point, feel free to get in touch with them on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    You have come to the right place though to reach out to others who are going through this at a similar age and I hope someone will be along shortly to share their experience with you. 

    Wishing you the best of luck for your treatment and we're all here for you anytime you need to chat or offload with others who truly understand how you are feeling.

    Best wishes,
