Just wondering how to go about a search for one that would be appropriate.

    A good place to start
    Lots of helpful links for BC warriors of all ages at:
    http://www.youngsurvival.org/en/research/clinical-trials

    You will no doubt get some good answers here, but you should feel free to ask at YoungSurvivor.org as well. Although YoungSurvival.org is focused (with very good reason) on supporting younger women, the ladies there are all about helping anybody who asks. Hell, I'm not even a woman and they helped me a great deal a year and a half ago.

    Good luck and God Bless... the Moopster and I are betting on YOU!

    I heard about
    I heard about www.armyofwomen.org on NPR. The goal is to match women easily with trials. They list the trials in language we can all understand and you just sign up.

    I have signed up for a trial "Identification of Novel Genetic Risk Factors that Contribute to the Risk for Breast Cancer"-- a trial for women who were diagnosed at 40 or younger. I heard back that I met the criteria, but have not heard back again. But I signed up just last week.
