I do not know what stage I am. See my gynecologist/oncologist Thursday
I'm not as concerned about the staging as I am about understanding this whole diagnosis
This is the first time seeing my Dr since the results all came back. He is aggressive as he put me on the schedule for chemo before my biopsies were in. CT scans showed enough.
I keep up with results on my portal. And through the nurses, which are amazing.
So will know more tomorrow, not sure I want to know it all. I keep telling myself it can.t be this bad. I'm a little weepy today as I lost a lot of hair this morning
But feel if I cry I'm giving in. Wow sorry for all that

@ford1929 this is me with my hair.....it was dramatic but I'm ok with it now.
@ford1929 Oh, we've all felt like crying and have cried during this journey none of us wanted to traverse. We're all different in that way. I also found the nursing staff to be wonderful. I felt surrounded by angels.
When you are ready will you let us know what information you receive from your doctor tomorrow?

@ford1929 knowledge is power honey and you want power over this because it isn't going to win. Hair loss? I pulled mine out the first time a lot come out. I got tired of it falling all over the place. This is me after my 4th treatment the first time. I got the clippers and shaved my head. I don't wear wigs or turbans in public. I go like I am. I don't wear makeup either. It's a lot less stressful when I don't have to worry what other people think. I don't care. 😊
