YSC Philadelphia Consitutents at the 2009 Annual Conference for Young Women Affected by Breast Cancer YSC of Greater Philadelphia was started in February of 2007 by two young survivors from Bucks County who wanted to reduce the sense of isolation felt by young women with breast cancer by building a strong community of young survivors in the local area. We serve as a point of contact for newly diagnosed young women, provide peer support through informal networking meetings, distribute educational information for the recently diagnosed within the medical community, host educational and social programs for survivors and their families, and embrace the goal of educating the community on the reality of breast cancer in young women.
