Breast cancer looks different for young adults:
➡️ They are generally diagnosed with more aggressive forms of breast cancer with higher fatality rates.
➡️ They face fertility issues disrupting plans for children, with many facing lifelong family planning decisions while still dating.
➡️ They face early menopause triggered by treatments, causing debilitating health side effects and cognitive impairments.
➡️ They face significant psychological distress causing anxiety and depression with limited mental health support.
➡️ They face treatment side effects and body image changes that impact intimacy and relationships.
Breast cancer doesn’t wait until you’re older. That’s why YSC exists and why your support matters.
Give today to make a difference right now.
“This is a place where I can hear someone else say 'me too' and that helps me feel much less afraid and alone.”
