HI ! I was interested to read your blog today. I am 38 years old and was 36 when i first found the lump in my breast. I had a lumpectomy, chemo & radio. They put me into menopause while i was on chemo - hoping that by shutting down my ovaries my fertility may be protected. I happily got my period back 4 months after completing chemo and now my partner and I are trying to get pregnant. I completely agree with you about research, literature etc for young women, all the anxiety regarding fertility and menopause. There really doesn't seem to be hardly any. I'm terrified i won't be able to get pregnant. My doctors don't believe there will be a problem and hopefully they are right!
Hope you are feeling good
kind regards
Tina

I love your story about taking your son's picture to chemo. At age 50, I was often the youngest person in my chemo room, so I'm sure your sense of isolation is even greater. Many of the younger breast cancer survivors I know have found good support through www.youngsurvival.org. We've had several posts and videos on this site from people who were at their conference this year, and I know they have an active website too.
