Steph - you'd be surprised. There are a LOT of us. I've met over 15 women in person just in the Kansas and Missouri area since I've been dx'd in there 20s and 30s. Several moms like me who were pregnant. I was far along and was able to induce pre-chemo, but others were not, and all there babies are fine. A woman in her 30s has a 1 in 250 chance of getting bc while in her 30s. It's unfortunately becoming all too common.

THANK YOU for sharing that story. Usually young women do worse and have worse prognoses, so I REALLY appreciate hearing that! 26 is WAY too young (I was 33).
