What’s the Buzz!

“We all get it and I love that. We don’t have to step on eggshells, we don’t have to try and be careful. We all just get it and understand and are there for each other.”

Lauren J.

“During my 6-year journey of cancer, I’d attempted to come [to the YSC Summit] twice and both times I’d gotten ill. This, for me, is the beginning of my new thrivership. And I think it is a great place to start.”

LaVonne C.

“It’s been energizing, body-affirming and self-affirming between dancing and sessions. I feel like I’m starting to put myself back together again.“

Kara B.

Workshops You Care About

YSC Summit topics are sourced directly from the community. We don’t tell you what you need to know – we curate experts to share what you want to know. And all exclusively through a younger breast cancer lens.

You’ll choose from topics like:

  • Dealing with scanxiety, depression and anxiety
  • Sex & intimacy (hello, vaginal dryness tips)
  • Managing treatment side effects
  • Wellness, health and nutrition
  • Fertility & family planning
