Hi Tracy, I'm Joy, and I'm a uterine cancer survivor of 6 years now. (I had 2 different uterine cancers at the same time, and had to be treated for both at the same time) I know, it is a very scary experience to go through, but as hard as it is, it's important to try and keep a positive outlook. I know it is really hard to get through it financially, I had to quit working as a nurse when I went through mine. I see this post is from Jan. 10th, I'm assuming you have had all of your tests by now and they are starting treatments. Have you had your surgery yet, and are they planning on chemo & radiation as options? I can relate to the fear, getting a diagnosis of cancer is such a hard thing to hear. I survived by telling myself that the best thing I could do was keep my spirits up, and realize that everything that can be done is being done. I reminded myself that they have come so far over the years with diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of each of the different types of cancers, that I had better chances than people even did 10 and 20 years ago. If you ever need to talk one on one, or through the forum, send me a message, or reply here. I am here for you, as I have been through this before with myself, and as a home hospice nurse. Whenever you feel lonely, just log in and holler. In friendship!hugs...Joy |
