Women age 40 years and younger account for 5.4% of new breast cancer diagnoses in Canada, but suffer more negative impacts than older women, due to having a worse prognosis, more intensive treatment and greater physical, social, and emotional sequelae due to life-stage factors. Consequently, younger women experience poorer quality of life, more problematic psychosocial adjustment to breast cancer and report higher levels of emotional distress throughout the cancer trajectory. Physicians tend to recognize and address physical symptoms from cancer and its treatment, but emotional and psychological distress is addressed less well. Furthermore, breast cancer care and treatment is typically lengthy, complex and distributed across a wide range of service providers. Younger women with breast cancer report difficulty navigating the healthcare system and feel ill informed, unprepared and dissatisfied by the lack of continuity. While there are resources that can help women be better informed and to manage symptoms, women are rarely informed of them early in the breast cancer journey, when the need is greatest.There is an urgent need to identify solutions that can be implemented at a population level and that can be accommodated within limited healthcare budgets. Education and self-management approaches that help cancer patients access appropriate knowledge and supports, and that impart skills could make a significant contribution to improving their experience and quality of life. Internet-based resources are convenient, accessible and acceptable circumventing childcare and transportation issues making it an ideal modality for YWBC who are usually more familiar with electronic communication compared to older women with breast cancer.
