When I had breast cancer at 39, it was one of the most stressful times of my life. I've always been an introvert with only a few friends, and I had no local family, so there wasn't much of a support network. A local organization for young women diagnosed with breast cancer was just ramping up, and I went regularly and helped set up the office. When I was there, I didn't think of my worries so much.
