No matter how many loved ones rally around you, it still feels like you’re all alone. I know I felt this way more than once. In my experience as a young cancer survivor, I often heard the words, “But you’re so young.” This phrase, although said with no malice, would take me to a place where I did feel all alone and like there was no one as young as I am having to experience being diagnosed with cancer. It made me question: Why me? </p><p>This feeling lingered until I found community within support groups I joined. They made me realize that I am not alone, and that unfortunately there were so many just like me or similar to me in the same journey and even in the same timeline of diagnosis and treatment. I cannot express enough what a positive difference this made. I am forever thankful that these support groups exist, and even more thankful for the accessibility to these groups. </p></section><section><pagebreak /> <p>I remember the first time my oncologist suggested I join a support group. My first thought was of a meeting you often see on TV like for AA. I didn’t think I would have the energy or the emotional capacity to actually make a trip to a specific location and be mentally present. I was then handed all sorts of information about different support groups, both in-person and virtual. I knew I needed all the help I could get, so I started to read the information provided to me. </p><p>The first support group I joined was an online support group through social media for an organization for young adults who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. This changed my life for the better. I was able to communicate, ask questions, and observe. Oftentimes when you are in a doctor’s office, there is so much information being exchanged, it’s hard to keep up with everything that has been said. Sometimes chemo brain takes over and you forget to ask something you wanted to ask. Although a support group is not meant to replace the care of your medical team, it is a great outlet to ask for suggestions about anything, including experiences with care teams, resources, recommendations on how to keep comfortable, and even nutrition. </p></section></div><div class="blog-post-article-page" data-page="2"><section> <p>Recommendations of in-person support groups and retreats can also be found within the online community. And most importantly, you can also find lifelong connections. They provide a true sense of community, and finally the opportunity to be seen and heard among incredible people who have gone through a similar journey or are just beginning one. No matter where you are in your cancer journey, please remember you are not alone. </p><p>Here are some of my favorite Facebook groups: </p><p>Young Survival Coalition (YSC). This group also has regional support groups that sometimes have in-person meetings if you wish to attend. </p><p>Breast Cancer Community: Support, Resources & Discussion</p><p>Breast Cancer Support –

No matter how many loved ones rally around you, it still feels like you’re all alone. I know I felt this way more than once. In my experience as a young cancer survivor, I often heard the words, “But you’re so young.” This phrase, although said with no malice, would take me to a place where I did feel all alone and like there was no one as young as I am having to experience being diagnosed with cancer. It made me question: Why me? \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis feeling lingered until I found community within support groups I joined. They made me realize that I am not alone, and that unfortunately there were so many just like me or similar to me in the same journey and even in the same timeline of diagnosis and treatment. I cannot express enough what a positive difference this made.

My first thought was of a meeting you often see on TV like for AA. I didn’t think I would have the energy or the emotional capacity to actually make a trip to a specific location and be mentally present. I was then handed all sorts of information about different support groups, both in-person and virtual. I knew I needed all the help I could get, so I started to read the information provided to me. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe first support group I joined was an online support group through social media for an organization for young adults who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. This changed my life for the better. I was able to communicate, ask questions, and observe. Oftentimes when you are in a doctor’s office, there is so much information being exchanged, it’s hard to keep up with everything that has been said. Sometimes chemo brain takes over and you forget to ask something you wanted to ask. Although a support group is not meant to replace the care of your medical team, it is a great outlet to ask for suggestions about anything, including experiences with care teams, resources, recommendations on how to keep comfortable, and even nutrition. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003C\u002Fsection_text\u003E\u003Chighlights\u003E\u003C\u002Fhighlights\u003E\u003Cpull_quotes\u003E\u003C\u002Fpull_quotes\u003E\u003C\u002Fsection_group\u003E\u003Csection_group\u003E\u003Cpagebreak type=\"mobile\" order=\"3\" \u002F\u003E\u003Cpagebreak type=\"desktop\" order=\"2\" \u002F\u003E\u003Csection_header is_continued=\"true\"\u003E continued...\u003C\u002Fsection_header\u003E\u003Csection_text\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERecommendations of in-person support groups and retreats can also be found within the online community. And most importantly, you can also find lifelong connections.
