Most people think that surviving cancer is a time for celebrating. While it is a happy time, it can also come with other emotions, like guilt.

10 years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 42. At the time of diagnosis, after I mentioned that itch I had brought up to my doctor at the age of 37 or 38, I was told that I most likely had it then. About 9% of breast cancers are diagnosed under the age of 45. My diagnosis was lobular breast cancer which makes up about 10% of all breast cancers. No family history of cancer. It can happen to anyone.

Although breast cancer mostly occurs among older women, in rare cases breast cancer does affect women under the age of 45. About 11% of all new cases of breast cancer in the United States are found in women younger than 45 years of age.

Breast cancer awareness month. Breast cancer is probably one of the most well known cancers out there. The most common symptoms are lumps and pain but did you know that there are many other symptoms that people are not aware of? I was recently speaking with someone who had the same initial symptom I had. An itch, that was deep under the skin. Not something any lotion would ever resolve. Follow up with anything that seems out of the ordinary. Please check yourself monthly. Even men can get this awful disease.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Join us in Helping Women Now! Share your story, get free resources, and help spread awareness.

Please donate. Anything will help. If you can’t afford to help, please share. You never know who you will reach.

10 years ago today I got a call that changed everything. I heard the words “You have cancer”. Over the years, I have spoken with too many people since then who have heard the same thing. It is the most amazing club you never wanted to be a part of. Too many have been lost. To honor those fighting, who have fought, and who fought until they couldn’t fight any longer, please consider donating to Love of Lisa Cancer & Lymphedema Fund. There are so many out there fighting this battle. No one makes too much for us to help.

This is so, so, so important and I don’t know that most people understand that until they are diagnosed with a major illness. Our group, Serving Survivors is here any time you may need some help with where to turn. As cancer survivors among other ongoing illnesses we know how you feel.

Elinor Cleghorn's pain started in her legs when she was in her 20s. It continued and spread for nearly a decade, with doctors dismissing the pain. Here's her advice on how to get doctors to listen.

This is quite a potential breakthrough. Triple negative breast cancer is an aggressive more rare form of breast cancer. Let’s keep this fight.

A vaccine that aims to prevent triple-negative breast cancer, a particularly lethal and aggressive type of cancer, is now in phase 1 trials.

This is definitely needed.

Doctors and manufacturers are now required to tell prospective patients that breast implants could lead to a rare type of cancer, along with other health warnings
