Breast cancer at 28?!?

Share your inspirational survivor or supporter story with others

I found out at age 28 I have stage 4 metatastic breast cancer. The first thoughts that went through my head were "omg, my babies!" I have 3 children under the age of 8. I am currently going through chemo, we are 3 months in. The cancer has spread to my bones. We will end up doing a double mastectomy and most likely a hysterectomy. Believe it or not, my children have been more than supportive and a the biggest insperation yet to keep fighting. I have a wonderful family, and amazing friends who are by my side day and night through of all of this! We can fight! We WILL find a cure!
