I am 32 with stage 4 breast cancer that has spread over my my whole body. I have also developed osteoporosis due to very aggressive cancer. I was put in to menopause so this was the out come. O have had the longest roughest year and a half of my life. Feelings of why does anyone have to deal with this pain and suffering. Not knowing what tomorrow will be like. Not know what my daughters future will withhold due to me being first in my family to develope this sickness. Seeing the hurt my sickness brings to my family.

I am sorry you are in this position. Cancer is hard, and it is scary. What meds are you on?

I see you are taking letrozole. Lack of estrogen is hard for some people. Even those of use who have been through menopause. Does your hospital offer a palative care program to help you navigate some of this. I just signed up for a genetic testing trial to see which of the cancers I have seen in my family are genetic. Hopefully, it will give guidance to my daughter and niece, who are both about your age.

Facebook has an excellent group for younger stage IV patients. You are dealing with many things us older folks are not. It’s called “Living With Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer Under 40.” I hope it helps!♥️
