Your friend is extraordinarily young to have breast cancer, so may find it hard to find others in the same position. I suggest she tries the forums on these two websites - both have a forum for younger women: http://www.breastcancer.org http://www.breastcancercare.org.uk Both sites have a lot of useful information too, especially the first one

She can try connecting with Young Survival Coalition which supports young people with breast cancer. Young women indeed get breast cancer: http://www.youngsurvival.org/ She might also wish to connect with other young adult cancer patients . . the younger patients tend to get gather together by age rather than by cancer types.
