Breast cancer can happen at any age. But young adults that are diagnosed with breast cancer often have a different journey than their older counterparts. Treatment for breast cancer can bring on temporary or permanent menopause for women in early adulthood. This means navigating a slew of additional symptoms, on top of a life-changing diagnosis. It also means making difficult decisions about family planning. Today, we hear from a breast cancer survivor who was diagnosed at age 40, and learn how she’s using her story to educate others.
