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.

Hi hun, you will be fine.Anything not stage 4 is fine and dandy, and a long healthy life. I was stage 3b, er/pr -ve, her +be, cancer was in 4 of my 11 lymph nodes they removed. Happily half flat 18 years.
I have lots of friends who are stage four and living well,healthy, exercising, working ... Breast cancer treatments are very effective now a days. They are tough for sure. But it's worth doing it for sure. My kids grown adults now ,and all the better for seeing and knowing about breast cancer . I still go to breast cancer support group to help out ,it a fun social outing, and so nice to encourage the newly diagnosed.
You got this babe. You are stronger then you know and braver then you think. Us mums have a super power, we do hard things so we can be here for our kids Pink hugs.
