Oh gosh, that sure isn’t the news you were hoping for @kellim, but this discovery will get you started on treatment and the road to recovery. I know this is clipping you off at the knees and filling you with roller coaster emotions right now. I’ve been there so I can appreciate what you’re going through. Four years ago I was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of acute myeloid leukemia, now cancer free and feeling as though nothing ever happened.

Waiting for your appointment is the worst part and a huge anxiety builder. Your oncologist will go over all the findings with you at your appointment. There may be a few more tests to determine your exact diagnosis so that the treatment can be targeted to your condition. This can feel overwhelming but you’ll get through all of this one day at a time.

I’m right here when you need to talk about anything…meds, emotions, or just needing support. There are many members in Connect who have gone down the same path you are. We’re all here to encourage you and offer you hope.
Try to remain positive and busy…
Do you have family near by for moral support?

Hi @kellim, just checking in to see how you are doing. How did the appointment go yesterday? Did you discuss a treatment plan?
