Never Too Young
Practical and Emotional Support for Young Women with Breast Cancer
Contrary to many people’s belief, young women do get breast cancer. Every year, more than 29,000 Canadian women are diagnosed with breast cancer and about 5,020 (17%) of them are under the age of 49. Although this age group is smaller than older women, breast cancer is still the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women aged 20-49.
Never Too Young is CBCN’s handbook for young women with breast cancer. It deals with the emotional and practical impacts of a breast cancer diagnosis on young women’s lives. It provides an overview of common issues and problems and seeks to empower young women by providing them with the information required to make informed decisions about their emotional wellbeing during diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
