@naturegirl5 luckily i am retired. I was able to retire early which was a good thing given what is happening with my health now. I will start chemo on 12/2. I will need 6 rounds 3 weeks apart. Not thrilled about it but I will do what I have to do.

I will definitely keep up with my surveillance appointments. My doctor did tell me my tumor markers were all within normal limits which she said will make monitoring a little more challenging but not impossible.

I definitely plan on focusing on my overall health…nutrition, sleep, physical activity etc. I feel like I’ve neglected my body for too long and now its showing the effects.

I will get through this. I can do hard things and I have my faith to lean on for strength.

@suzieq1980 Yes, it's good that you are retired. I had just retired when I was first diagnosed with endometrial cancer in 2019. Not exactly how I envisioned my retirement but I so glad I didn't have to manage work and a work schedule at that time.

You are right on top of everything. These cancer diagnoses and treatments certainly do wake us up to better practices in nutrition, sleep, well-being, etc.

Yes, you will get through this. You said ou are leaning on your faith and I imagine your friends and family?
