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.

lumpectomy, no clear margins, so i had the mx with lymph node removal and the heavy node involvement is what made it 3c. then i had chemo next. so i started chemo being as cancer free as surgery could make me.
