Good morning Helen,
Your words are so spot on. My mind wants to wander into the unknown and right now that is a very dark place. Tomorrow, when we sit with my team, I'm sure that I will have a clearer, while not exact picture of what's to be. My gyno/oncology said something to me yesterday that has stuck in my heart and mind, "From your neck down is our (my team's) responsibility and from your neck up is your responsibility, but we are here for you in every way"! I thought that very profound and true. The treatments that I will go through are led by my team but my mental state will be in my hands. I cannot even come close to expressing what an incredible blessing it is to be able to talk to others who, while maybe not in the exact same boat as I am, are willing to share, support and care. Thank you so much!

Good morning, mmchap2120,

I hope you were able to get some rest last night, but imagine it may have been a challenge. I will be thinking of you today. I like that your team expresses confidence around caring for your body. From my perspective, you are welcome to bring your "head" here and share what you are experiencing so you don't have to experience it bouncing around inside your skull with nowhere to take it. I can't imagine anything you might think that hasn't also been experienced by others, and if what you experience is unique, it will teach all of us something valuable.

Know you are thought of with care and hope today.

Gyno...
