Hello,
I echo your feelings.
I am a 64 year old male, diagnosed with T2B EC 3 weeks ago. This is a very surreal time, I personally am in dismay. I have searched the internet to educate my self and it all seems hopeless and everything bad. Be careful with the statistics. I am learning that every ones experience is different. Personally, I have zero support no one to talk to, hug and express emotions. I had thought about foregoing treatment and make Death with Dignity plans. With in this blog, I have found a very good online connection / councilor / support group. I have come to the realization and decision, I will have to go through with it and do this for myself.
I am scheduled to begin the physical journey on March 12 when my chemo port will be put in, followed by 10 weeks of chemo then EC surgery. I too am scared, numb I feel hopeless and want to give up. I am going with the flow, I need to trust my Mayo staff - they are the best and I have only praise for every person I have met at the Mayo. We can get second opinions but I choose to trust them.
By Thoughts and prayers.
Rick
