A CRUCIAL GUIDE TO BREAST CANCER SURVIVAL FOR A NEW GENERATION OF WOMEN The first comprehensive survival guide for breast cancer in younger women Each year thousands of young women are diagnosed with breast cancer, yet virtually all of the information available on breast cancer focuses on the concerns of older women. Fighting for Our Future is the first comprehensive “survival guide” for young women living with breast cancer, their families, those who care for them, and young women with a family history of cancer who need to be aware of their risks, not only as older women but also right now.
