Michele-

I am so sorry to hear about this young woman. I was Stage IV from initial diagnosis at 36 years old. She is obviously much younger than I was, but I can tell you that the first thing my surgeon told me to do was to stop taking my birth control pills due to being ER+. I chose to be very aggressive in the beginning and had chemo and bilateral mastectomies. If you have any questions you are welcome to pm me.

In the mean time, you are all in my prayers.

Regards, Suzanne
