I'm only 30 with breast cancerSo- I just found out monday, August 11th, I have breast cancer. Invasive ductal carcinoma, Stage 3. I will be 31 on August 30th. I have no kids and was on (the pill) birth control for 16 years. My aunt passed in August a year ago from breast cancer that had spread and a great grandmawho passed from it. Why I got picked, I don't know for sure, was it the pills, was it not having kids? Anyway... I go for surgery this Tuesday the 19th. They don't know what I'll need afterward, how much they'll have to take, it's just a big 'Wait and See Game". I am still in shock that I am only 30 and have breast cancer. If there is any other younger people out there, it would be nice to know that I'm really not the only one under 40 to get bc. I feel like I'm just beside myself. I don't want to lose my hair, or my breast. I just feel so... helpless. For once in my life, I can do nothing but wait. See. Sorry, I just had to get this off my chest. Anyone like to reply to me, feel free, I'd appreciate it. |
