I am anxious but oddly calmer than before the surgeon because I had a feeling something wasn't right and now I know what . I got my initial diagnosis on Valentines Day and had my surgery a week ago last Tuesday. It sometimes feels like I haven't had time to breath or totally go thru grieving. I am going to start seeing a counselor this am

@mablejoy I very much understand the feelings of anxiety. My time between diagnosis and the initial consult with the GYN-Ocologist at Mayo Clinic was very short. Also, Mayo Clinic in Rochster, MN is 400 miles from where I live so I had to quickly pack and find care for our animals before leaving home. Fortunately, our neighbors jumped in and quickly volunteered to care for our animals which was a huge relief for me. Like you, I felt like I barely had time to breathe. So yes, it's a whirlwind of appointments however from what other members have shared here I'm glad that you do not have to wait before you move forward with your appointments and treatment.

Support is so important for us. When you mention counselor, does this mean that you will see a mental health therapist?
