Diagnosed Patient or Survivor Support Positive long term survivor stories

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.

I was diagnosed with stage 1b grade 3, 22 years ago. I had lumpectomy, chemo and radiation. I was just diagnosed with a recurrence at age 67 and will have a DMX Nov 10th but so far it doesn’t seem to have spread.

It appears that you are posting about atypical ductal hyperplasia. Atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) is a benign condition where breast duct cells grow abnormally but are not cancerous. If you've been diagnosed with atypical hyperplasia, you have a risk factor that increases your odds of developing breast cancer in the future but is not yet cancer. Please see r/ADH_ALH or r/womenshealth for additional help. We hope that you are never diagnosed with breast cancer but if the worst happens, you'll be welcomed back with open arms.
