Some studies suggest that younger women, who represent about one fourth of breast cancer survivors, tend to have more problems adjusting to the stresses of breast cancer and its treatment. They have more psychosocial problems and trouble with emotional and social functioning. Some can feel isolated. Also, chemotherapy may have caused early menopause which requires adjustment. There may also be sexual difficulties. All these may need help with counseling and support groups directed to younger breast cancer survivors.
