Anyone diagnosed in their 20's?

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone on this board was diagnosed in their 20's or 30's? I was diagnosed right before my 26th birthday and I'm 27 now. I have a colonoscopy coming up tomorrow and waiting until February to follow up on a liver spot. After chemo last August I was feeling so good and positive but I think the stress of uncertain results and waiting has taken its toll on me in the last couple months. I'm having anxiety imagining the worst, and I think what makes it harder is that I can't really vent to anyone in my age group because I feel like it's hard for them to relate. I'm struggling emotionally and I guess this post is just me reaching out for support. I'm a high school math teacher and normally my job doesn't stress me out, but I've been so mentally exhausted that I think everything is just catching up to me :/
