Rhonda,
Thanks for posting. This is a frightening trend and I feel terrible for these young girls.
I have beleive that the rate of younger women getting breast cancer is increasing at a huge rate in general. I was diagnosed at 32 years old 21 years ago. At that time I could only find two other women my age with breast cancer and I checked with many organizations. Now, I would say that well over half the women at the breast center where I go are under 50 years old and many under 40. I do not beleive that this has anything to do with awareness I just think that more young women are getting breast cancer.
Thanks for posting.
