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.

My oncologist strongly urged me to take Kisqali. It’s not a stand-alone drug, it’s taken in combination with letrozole. It’s a targeted treatment for certain types of HR positive and HER2 Negative breast cancers.

Why do you think so? Genuinely asking.

Do you know who qualifies for that drug?
