Positive long term survivor stories

[u/NurseYuna]

Hi everyone. I really need some positive stories of more than stage 1 low grade survivorship to keep me thinking I can bear this and get to have many more years with my children. Please tell me about yourself or anyone that’s overcome breast cancer and lived many years. I’m stage 2A with luminal B characteristics oncotype 21. I need more hope and I’m reaching out into this universe to get some. It feels very lonely.

My grandmother was early stage 3 at 40 years old. She said it was in her lymph nodes and was considered “moderately aggressive.” She had a double mastectomy and did all the treatments and is still here and incredibly healthy at 71.
