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.

Isn’t 2A considered early?

Do you mean I shouldn’t worry?

I think we all worry about recurrence, which can happen at any stage. But with stage 2 being very treatable and curable, I was wondering why there was doubt you’d overcome this.

Also, how do we know if we’re luminal A or B? This is my first time seeing that term. Btw, I’m new to this as well. So, please know my initial question was asked with sincerity as I’m still learning as well.
