| Introduction | In early 2013, after feeling pain in my left breast for a few weeks, I found a lump. Three weeks later I had a mastectomy to remove the 8cm tumor and what I now know was ductal carcinoma in situ - stage 0 breast cancer. I was 31 years old. When I was first diagnosed I thought there would be a multitude of resources available for young women with breast cancer. What I found were just a few blogs of women my age with breast cancer, and each one stopped abruptly or ended with a farewell. Googling their names resulted in obituaries. So here I am. One-breasted. Trying to figure out how to be a hip thirty-something and navigate life post-breast cancer. Trying to be the resource I so desperately wanted, so no one feels as alone as I have felt.
