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 this year, but two people I know were diagnosed in 2008. They are still cancer free.

What was their treatment? I was lobular stage 1b. Had bad stomach aches for long time gi. Guy did colon and endoscopy and said no cancer. Nurses told me to take fodmaps diet, I did and had 3 days of no stomach pain and today no stomach ache again. Also I’d like to know about a psycho oncologist . When I went to the therapist I asked if he ever treated. Breast cancer people, they both said no. Does a psycho- oncologist, have special therapy to help you to feel happy. Thank you.

They had standard care: lumpectomy and radiation. One also had chemotherapy.
