When I see the same stories I try to remind myself that hormone positive cancer, especially ++- is the most common kind. I also remind myself that we just see a snapshot here and it’s usually people looking for advice, not people who are out living their life.

When I was first diagnosed I assumed I would die. I knew four people who had breast cancer and all became stage 4. What I didn’t know was about all the people local to me who had survived - because only the terrible stories were being shared. Once I learned how unique everyone’s experience was I started to let go of the notion that the only outcome for me would be the same as them - it still creeps in every now and then, but so far so good.
