@jlb333, I appended the title of this discussion to differentiate it from the other discussions you're participating in:
- Diagnosed with endometrium adenocarcinoma few days ago https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/diagnose-with-cancer-few-days-ago/
- Just diagnosed with Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma: What to expect? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/adenocarcinoma-1/

And I'm bringing others with endometrial cancer experience into this discussion like @whengzy19 @mary64300 @pugpeople @pema2 @wrightvillebeach @terradean @erthart65 @rose53 @cheriels @naturegirl5 @cmb2022: some, like you, are new to this too and other who have walked the path before you.

I'm so glad that you were able to tell your daughter and that she is coming to be with you. I know that's hard, but I'm confident that she is grateful that you did.

At this point in the journey, it may seem a burden to have the nursing knowledge that you have. I think it will ultimately serve you well in helping you to know to ask questions and what questions to ask. If you surprise yourself and find that you leave appointments without asking questions, I might suggest putting on your nursing attitude and remember how fiercely your fight for patients. Be that advocate for yourself. And be kind to yourself as you would be to your patients. You are the patient now and have banked up a lot of credit to be cared for. ❤️😊

I appreciate reading about the pre-surgery protocol. It'll be nice to have 2 days of high carbs, built free, right? You might think of yourself as a high-performing athlete getting ready for game day.

What helps to calm you during the high anxiety moments?
