Shereejoy, I was 37 when diagnosed. I have 2 DDs, and my lump (which was very large, they excised 7cm and then another 4 cm of tumour from my breast) was disguised while I was pregnant & breastfeeding my youngest, who was 17 months old when the BC was diagnosed (very common for it to be hidden in younger women). I'm a member of a BC forum which has quite a few other young women with BC on it, and several of them have had babies after their treatment, there are several extra measures needed if this is a priority for you, and no guarantees of course, but the drs will do everything they can to help young women preserve their fertility.
As scary as it is right now, you will get through this, no matter what the results say on wednesday. xxx
