Young Survivor

Typically under age 35, but some use the pre vs. post meopausal status as a marker to call a woman "young". The Young Survivor's Coalition serves women under the age of 35 and Tiger Lily Foundation, ages 40 and under. I hope this helps answer your question.

Hi! Yes, diagnosed at 37, had 4 surgeries including a bilateral mastectomy. Currently undergoing reconstruction... which is no fun. Praying my last surgery is in Oct for my exchange. I feel very blessed not to have gone through chemo or rads! I will definitely be checking out your blog! Today is my first 3 month follow up with my breast surgeon.. a little nervous I must say. Hi!

The two main organizations that I know of that focus on young cancer survivors are Young Survival Coalition (http://youngsurvival.org) and i2y (http://i2y.org).

Both have gatherings all over the country, either support groups or other events. They also have forums where you can meet others online. And if you are particularly ambitious, they could give you guidance on starting your own local group. You can also contact us at TalkAboutHealth and we will help you get a local group going.

Just this year I went to both Young Survival Coalition's and i2y's yearly conferences, and they were both amazing. Both offer scholarships as well, but make sure you apply early.

And of course, TalkAboutHealth (http://TalkAboutHealth.com) will match you with others similar to you as well.

Here is a longer list of organizations that support young survivors.
