Just diagnosed with Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma: What to expect?

@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.

Helen, one of my favorite books is by a doctor who was also a cancer patient titled "Cancer is a word, not a sentence" By Robert Buckman. Your post reminded me of him, a fun, heartfelt and very funny guy.
Cancer maay not be a dedth sentence, but it is a life sentence.
Everything is different AD (after diagnosis) than it was BC (before cancer). I was diagnosed with EC a year ago, and the anxiety is relentless.

That is a good way to look at it. I want to be positive, but it is so hard. Right now just getting myself to work is a chore. I am exhausted from lack of sleep. As for something to treat myself I may catch a show at some point but that isn't likely. I am bombarded with phone calls and visits (which I appreciate, but would rather not have during the work week). I would love to come home and rest for a bit and recharge for tomorrow. As always thank you so much for being an inspiration 💗
