Thank you for the positive encouragement one thing for sure even the second time you hear the word cancer still keep your dumbfounded, and in the days thought it would be easier the second time around my treatment plan appointment is this Thursday. She had already mentioned before surgery that if it was cancer and more surgery was gonna be needed so I’m assuming that is going to be something as well. I am experiencing some pelvic pain on the same side so I’m sure I’m looking at a PET scan. Definitely will keep you guys updated.

@samanthabouchard Yes, please keep us updated. I’m sad that you are experiencing pelvic pain and I hope whatever the treatment is (surgery?), the pain will be relieved.

I had a recurrence two years after my diagnosis. Isn’t that why we return for these appointments so that if there is a recurrence or a new cancer it’s caught early? Still, hearing “cancer” again the second time was almost more traumatic than the first time I heard it.
