Hi Rose, it sounds like you now have an outline of your treatment plan and surgery is the very first step. That's a good step forward and onward to recovery.

You'll notice that I moved your message to the Gynecological Cancers group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/gynecologic-cancer/ to the discussion where you connected with @ejohn and @naturegirl5. I did this so that they get your update and continue to support you.

You're so right that it is normal to experience an emotional roller coaster. In fact @hopeful33250 started a discussion by that title here:

Rose, While fear of the unknown remains, do you feel more oriented with a plan of action? What questions do you have about your upcoming surgery?
