Young
women can and do get breast cancer. While breast cancer in young women
accounts for a small percentage of all breast cancer cases, the impact of
this disease is widespread. There are more than 250,000 women 40 and under in
the U.S. living with breast cancer, and more than 11,100 young women will be
diagnosed in the next year. If you are a woman diagnosed with breast cancer,
there are organizations ready to help you deal with your emotions, questions
and concerns.
