Rkaygrl, Hi. Let me try this again. I am at the same stage you are. I am newly diagnosed. I suppose you are a little overwhelmed by this. I know I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head. I have a friend that is going through treatment. She told me to think of this as a hurdle jumping race. And only look and think of the first hurdle. That was very helpful. So, my first hurdle is the visit with the oncologist on the 18 Feb. It's been a long wait. So thinking about this day and its activities. Keeps me focused. Have you seen the oncologist yet? How are you dealing with this. I've had two bad days where I cried, a lot. And that's ok, It just kind of hits you. Do you have a good support system in place. I have wonderful prayer warriors. And several I know that they help through the rough days. Just random thoughts to help you cope with unwelcome change

Rkaygrl;
just a quick note to say I am thinking of you. I too help my sister who has the same stage iv. We learn together.

When I first started with this site I had a lot of questions and found people to help with answers. The person you are supporting may want to join as well. Feel free to share your feelings or ask any questions you like. People here are always happy to share their experiences. It's a scary journey that we're all going though...but we're going through it together.

We're here to help, I was in your shoes not too long ago, started bleeding on Dec. 24, diagnosed in Jan. Ask anything at all. Glad you found this site!

Hi RKaygrl.

Welcome to whatnext sorry for what brings you. A lot of support here. Can help in any way please let me know.

Greetings. Welcome to What Next. There are lots of great people here -- patients/survivors, caregivers, & family. If you have any questions, please use the question tab above -- that way the entire network will have access & you'll get a quicker response. I see your loved one was diagnosed stage IV -- I am also a stage IV endometrial cancer survivor; I've been ticking along for 2 & a half years and still show no evidence of disease. I hope your loved one can get to that place as well. Glad you found us but sorry for the circumstances that led you here. I wishing you both all the best.

There are also subtypes listed on this page to narrow down the type of cancer to match your dx.

Also, if you can take a few minutes and fill in some details of your journey so far, it will help others as they try to answer questions for you, it also helps others as they search through the data base to find someone like themselves. Confirming your email will allow you to receive updates and notices from the site when someone answers your questions or writes on your wall.
