Ladies in their 30s

I think I usually just said something like "I've had some health problems lately. I noticed a lump in my breast, and I went to the doctor and they did some tests. I found out I have breast cancer, so I've been in treatment for that..."
After that I kind of let the other person take the lead. Some people wanted to know more about my treatment and what I had been going through, other people didn't really know what to say and the conversation kind of moved on.
I learned that people have a variety of reactions, and it's not always how I thought it would be. Best of luck!

Thank you buttonsmachine! She was a very close friend many years ago but we just lost contact. Right now we are speaking through texts. Should I tell her on the phone? I don't think/know if I will ever see her again in person but she should know. She was a big part of my life.

I think I usually talked to people over the phone, but I can't really remember. I think either way could be okay, depending on your situation. I hope the conversation goes well either way! It can be scary to open up about this stuff, but I've found that good friends are really supportive.

Hi everyone, I am going to turn 39 in 3 months. My first diagnosis (stage 2) was around this time 4 years ago, I remember my oncologist back then freaking out because I wasn't 35 just yet. I got diagnosed this January with MBC to the bones and I'm still trying to figure out how to live with this illness, the appointment, the PTSD, the scanxiety while I still hope to live long…anyone with MBC in their 30s here? Any tips on how you've been doing it? It has been only 7 months into the diagnosis and I'm so drained - although the medication has done a miracle so far.
