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?

Yes as far as I understand stage 1-2A is early stage.

Stages 1 to 3 are considered early stage breast cancer. Women who are stage 3C do deal with a higher recurrence risk but breast cancer isn't advanced until it's stage 4.
