@samanthabouchard Nothing you’ve written is burdensome. We are a support group. We share as much or as little of our own stories as we want and we make an effort to encourage one another.

Many of us here have kept our respective diagnoses from people other than our close family and friends. I did that because I had endometrial cancer and gosh, this involves, gulp, my private parts. I didn’t want to hear anyone else’s story about their sister, their neighbor, their friend of a friend. And especially did not want anyone to say - as one person did - “do you know what caused this?”.

I’m sharing the above because I’m figuring it’s the position you are in. Many people do not hear about some parts of the body. I’ve asked my NP in gyn/oncology at Mayo Clinic and she sees women with these cancers. I expect that yes, your diligence in your check-ups and biopsies means that the cancer was caught early. I’m glad to hear that.

I hope you will continue to come back to this site and allow us to support you. Are you currently in treatment?
