In t he Minor it y: Young Women & Breast

I have no idea how to navigate this.? From the responses and from the posts of other women in the group, I could see that I wasn?t the only one. [...] From the day I went to the ER because I was concerned about a lump, to the ultrasounds that same day, the staff that 10 attended to me were amazing. [...] And besides, I now have battle scars to serve as a daily reminder to live each day to the fullest ? to soak up time with the ones I love and to keep life?s special moments close to my heart. [...] How will I feel? Will it hurt? What will be the side effects? What will the chemo room look like? Now, the silence in the room is masked by the beeping of the machines and the rain hitting the windows. [...] I told them I wanted to be open and share my story to bring awareness and I have felt so supported from them and my community, but I still see how hard it is for the people around me.
