I received the same exact diagnosis in 5/2024. I can copy and paste your sentiments 🥲 I was a Healthy post-menopausal female. Negative Pap smear in 12/2023, only to learn Pap smears don’t pick up uterine cancers.
Never knew that but if information.

I had a total hysterectomy in June and have had 3 of my 6 cure chemo treatments. 3 more to go!
I try to remain hopeful and positive as much as I can but it can be very challenging.

Do you find talking to tour therapist helpful if so would you mind sharing a few tactics?

Hanging on to faith and hope..

@toni66 I'd like to welcome you to our Gynecological Cancers support group. I'm glad to hear that you practice hopefulness and as you indicated it is a challenge. I found that while I was in treatment I felt supported and watched by my cancer care team and that helped me to feel even more hopeful.

How are you feeling today? Is there anything you would like to share that has been helpful for you?

Yes talking with a therapist is very helpful. I work on things I want to deal with all week and I share it with her. Most of my emotional mental health work happens in-between sessions. This works best for me. I always come to our sessions prepared.
