Endometrial cancer: I'm so scared

Hello Shelly, I was diagnosed with EC in 2023 and had surgery in 2024. I was terrified. The waiting is the most painful. I meditated everyday, thinking positive about a gentle outcome. I went in YouTube and listen to TedTalks with people who have been through cancer and now are doing well./ Anything that can help you to stay calm and think positive. My outlook upon life changed and am still learning how to be present "today" and grateful often. Fortunately, the cancer I had was stage I and Type B, it was 25% through the wall of my uterus. I did not need chemo or radiation. I am grateful so grateful. I wish the best outcome for you, do not let fear run your mind and have self compassion for what you are feeling. Talk about it with whoever you trust. Best wishes, FC

@flaviacwood Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thank you for your kind words for @sbryant and really for all of us. Your suggestions of how to get through the anxiety-provoking wait are helpful as many of us - myself included - need guidance in reducing feelings of anxiety. I love your ideas of watching TedTalks of cancer survivors and how they helped you to feel more positive about your outcome. Do you have any suggestions of who to watch? Or links that you like?
