Dearest @cmb2022
My name is Rosemarie. I have been keeping up with your post because I want to know how your faring sice your diagnosis. I too was diagnosed with the same cancer at 68 as well. I was lost the day the I was told I had it. I didn't know if I was in denial because I just couldn't believe it and I was numb the first day. The next day when it sunk in, emotions came all kinds and crying all day took over. Then questions, I had no answer to came pouring in so it made it worst. I reached out for support and nature girl helped me so much. She had the same cancer and shared with me her experience. HOPE started for me.. I had to have it or I felt like I was going to go crazy if I didn't. Finally the day came when I had my initial visit with Oncologist doctor, explained what needed to be done and what to expect after it..still hoping, praying,.. After surgery, doctor gave more hope. He said he removed cancer, and no other place visible of it. My dear sister, I was happy I couldn't stop crying.
My experience has humbled me, strengthened me, take nothing for granted and appreciate each day we have because we never know what tomorrow brings but most of all, keep faith intact and never give up on HOPE. That's the power we need to keep us going. Praying for your recovery..

@rose53.Rosemarie,
It's good to see you back here and offering support to another one of us with the same diagnosis as you and me. Your words about humbling, strengthening and taking nothing for granted are so very inspiring. Cancer does change us, doesn't it? How about this? I often look for what I can be grateful for. But a friend recently suggested another word and way to view the world. Awesomeness. It takes it all up a notch just like you did with your post to @cmb2022. It'a awesome to see you back here and thriving.

Thank you so much for the support. This has been a tough journey for me as I am certain most people would say the same. In my heart I know my early diagnosis and surgery are a good thing, but somedays feel like it is a death sentence. I have had wonderful support. I just feel this is something that unless you've experienced you can't relate and that is why I like having the support and life line if you will in this group.
Today was day 2 back at work and much harder as my emotions were all over the place. I spent a great deal of the day in tears and was frustrated with my self. I am exhausted and still not sleeping well. I am hoping and praying that tomorrow is a better day!
