Just diagnosed with Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma: What to expect?

No, this isn't a major university or medical center, although it is one of the best in our remote area. I will ask about a support group at my visit. I think that would be so beneficial.
I will consider asking my sister to accompany me, but I prefer not to have the distraction, so that I can concentrate on the news and info myself.
This is very stressful. I don't sleep well, and feel like I cry a lot..
Somedays I feel a little more like my old self and somedays I feel so confused.
Thank you again for being there. It means so much to me.

Hello @cmb2022 your appointment is coming up soon. You have been present in my thoughts. How are you feeling today?

If not a support group then maybe a mental health clinician?
You wrote that some days you feel more like your old self and other days you're confused. And you have trouble sleeping and cry a lot. I know personally how awful all that is. It's the rollercoaster of emotions that go with what we're going through. Some days or hours we feel up and somewhat happy and other times we're down. I don't know about you but I'd like a smoother ride as I've never been a fan of roller coasters.
You shared that you're menopausal since the surgery. Is this something you can add to your list of questions for your doctor? Or see your gynecologist?
I was referred to a Women's Sexual and Health Clinic at Mayo in Rochester after my surgery. The Clinic is filled with knowledgeable and supportive providers, including a psychologist, who gave me information and suggestions that have really helped me. Like you, I live in a remote area and there is nothing like that here. Is there such a clinic or practice near you?
