Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community although I'm sorry you've had to find us.
I see that you have found the breast cancer for the under-50s group and I hope that you'll find others there who are willing to share their experiences with you.
You might also like to consider joining the main breast cancer group as it's a lot busier and you could post there as well. Clicking on the link I've created will take you there.
It can be hard knowing how to talk to people about your cancer and how you feel so I hope you might find this information from Macmillan helpful.

My cancer journey but I see you have found our Breast cancer for the under-50s forum and have put up a post that you will soon get some replies We also have the main Breast cancer forum. These are the places where you will connect with people who understand the journey you are on. You can ask the folks questions about tests, treatments and what to expect during the months ahead.
