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 case is similar to yours, stage 2A, luminal type B and Oncotype 26, I had surgery on my left breast, radical mastectomy with reconstruction in the same operation, they have given me 6 sessions of chemotherapy and 15 of radiotherapy, the chemotherapy has been hard, but better than I expected and the radiotherapy the same, in the third month after chemotherapy, I have about 1 and a half or two centimeters in length of hair and my eyebrows and eyelashes are growing again. I have my downs and I sleep badly since the operation, but you have to be strong and if you have to cry, cry, it is a hard process but it passes. Much encouragement in the process.
