    Welcome. It is tough being a caregiver for a challenging family member. I had that experience 5 years ago with my mother. If you ever want to talk one on one, feel free to hit my "exchange email" button and you can vent all you need to. Take care of yourself.

    Hi Natplays. Hang in there. I know it's tough being a caregiver, wishing you could take the disease away, feeling helpless at times. The fear of losing a loved one can deeply penetrate your life and your spirit. Please don't let it do that. Don't lose hope that everything will turn out ok. I myself am a patient (Stage 4 cervical). I won't lie to you and say that treatment is easy, but it's doable and with the right support from family, friends, and information on how to deal with side effects. You are in the right place here. We are a family here at Whatnext and take care of our own. If you can get any helpful information from our experiences to help your sister, that's fantastic. I sure learned a LOT when I joined Whatnext. It made the journey easier, less lonelier and reading how people coped, helped me cope as well. You are not alone. Stay strong for your sis, let her know you are there with her. A cancer diagnosis affects not only the patient but the whole family, even friends. Hold on tight, and you will get through this. One of my biggest support was from God. He's been by my rock and has gotten me through so much. Thankfully, this past Monday my doctor told me the results of my latest CT scan. No Evidence Of Disease. How wonderful is that? I'm am so full of joy. Cancer is not always a death sentence. You have to hope and believe with all your heart that your sister will get through this with her head held high, fighting with all her might and staying positive. Please know you, your sister and your family are in my prayers. Hugs.

    Hello and welcome, we are glad you found us. Here is a link to our cancer dx page for your type of cancer. Take a look at it to get you started on some information. You will notice at the bottom of that page 4 of our active users who have had that journey already, you may wish to contact them for their experience and wisdom. Also, any questions you may have just post them in the questions tab and everyone will see them there and be able to help you.

    https://www.whatnext.com/conditions/cancer/endometrial-uterine-cancer

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

    You may also find our "Beginner's Guide To Cancer" page helpful Click Here for that=> http://bit.ly/10BQKCi

    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.

    Thanks for being with us and let me know if I can help you find any information on the site. After you have an opportunity to look the site over and see what great things there are here, we encourage you to invite your friends, family or anyone you know that may be helped by the connections on WhatNext to join the site also.
