Just diagnosed with Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma: What to expect?

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!

I really feel for you, and I feel this comment. I'm so sorry you're back at work; that's a hard place to allow yourself to feel what you have to feel. With my diagnosis, I felt very much as you do: glad that surgery and chemo were available to me, but also: DAMN! I'm afraid that this is it! How can it be when I'm only 58 years old? (The older we get, the younger we think every age is, right?) I hate cliches, but it is true, my friend: tomorrow is another day. I tried to remember that when I was feeling so miserable. I wish you the best: hang in there, and know that there's a whole bunch of us rooting for you!

@cmb2022 Tomorrow will be another day. I know what you mean about some days feeling that cancer is a death sentence. I have moments and days like that especially during the past few months. Can you treat yourself with the kindness like you'd offer your best friend? It's been very tough these past weeks and on top of all of that you are having menopausal symptoms. What can you do for yourself this evening that will be soothing. Just for you? Watch a feel good movie or show on a streaming channel? Or maybe you just need quiet time as it might be hectic at work? I try to accept my feelings for what they are. The response to a very upsetting and difficult situation I am trying to negotiate.
I'm sending you peaceful vibes to help you to sleep tonight.
