Getting a breast cancer diagnosis at any age is tough and being a young woman with breast cancer can be even tougher. With issues like fertility, reconstruction, dating and planning for the future, cancer can really get in the way. Our first official Young Women with Breast Cancer correspondent is Geordan Mandell - you might recognize her from other videos here on ALIVE. She is now a one year breast cancer survivor at only 29 years old.
Hear her conversation with 4 other amazing young women battling the same disease; Paula, Kathleen, Elizabeth and Abra. They tackle issues like weight fluctuation during chemo, mastectomy and reconstruction, lymphedema and telling your kids you have cancer.
