April wants to tell you a story from her own breast cancer survivorship. It’s a story that will shed light on why she focuses so much energy on the younger breast cancer community with her work with both Wildfire Magazine, her writing workshops, and this podcast. As always, she'll tie this together with a writing prompt at the end to help you use writing to heal your own story. Today, April shares a piece she wrote about what it’s like to be young and diagnosed, and finding your people. 

Additionally, here are a few resources designed specifically with younger breast cancer patients in mind:
