Hi my name is Jennifer, I'm 25 and just diagnosed with Stage IIIc breast cancer. I'm just "entering the battlefield" and freaking out =(
Hi everyone I will be starting chemo next week and I’m afraid I can’t get through this whole process, I’m afraid I will panic and just refuse to do it, I’m afraid of what chemo will do to me and how it will make me feel, how do I overcome this fear? Thank you for any help

Hi, I was recently diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer at 22 years old. I am overwhelmed with so many information and now I need to decide whether I should do egg freezing. I know it’s not 100% successful but should I still do it to keep my options open? I’m too young to even know if I want kids in the future or…
So here's my story. Back in July of 2024 I thought felt a lump in my breast. For about 2 years every month when I started my period I would feel a large lump but it would go away after my perky. When I went to the gynecologist he felt around but didn't feel anything, but he wanted to be sure so he sent me for a mammogram.…
Hi! How much more effective is ovarian suppression plus anastrazole compared to just tamoxifen alone in preventing recurrences in premenopausal women?
