Just wanted to share my sisters story to inform people that young women need to be more aware of breast cancer. My sister was 23 when diagnosed and passed away on her 25th birthday. She fought to the end and never gave up. Breast cancer in younger women can be very aggressive and spread rapidly. It is so important that younger women do breast self examinations and follow up any lumps with their GP's. Sometimes they are told "your too young to worry about breast ca", so second and third opinions are sometimes necessary. GP's can get it wrong. Fine needle aspirations can also get it wrong. Do not let anyone or any test tell you otherwise if you truly believe and have a gut feeling that something is indeed wrong. Please tell all your daughters, nieces, friends daughters to check themselves. My sister would probably be alive today if she had followed her instinct and got another opinion.
