I SO remember the day I was told I had cancer. I completely fell apart in the drs ofc at Mayo. My husband was w me and has been a saint thru it all.
I can only tell you how I'm dealing w this scourge. Though I had surgery and the tumors were successfully removed, it's 3 weeks til I go back to make sure the cancer's still gone, and apprehension is building; fear of the unknown, and the waiting, are the worst. To fight it, my motto is, 'Today is the only day"& try to daily buy off on that. I try to keep busy. And i've surrounded myself with lots of moral support of family & friends. I try to not get annoyed when well-meaning people give me advice that sours me..they aren't walking in my shoes, and don't truly know the true angst we are in. Each of us has to figure out how to daily deal emotionally w this beast, so all I can do is the same @ronsale has done and tell u how I'm handling it. Sending hugs and very best wishes to you!

Also anxiety of now going to deal w the tumor on my right carotid artery; like I said, fear of the unknown and the waiting is the worst.

Yes it comes as such a shock and it takes time to process. Your whole world changes. I had already gone through chemo and radiation for uterine cancer this year 2024 and was in remission.

Wishing you also blessings and prayers. Yes one day at a time.
