    Oh honey, yes there is something you can do. Educate yourself about your situation. Yes, cancer can come back but, sometimes it does not, yes, you will have a hard time with treatments but, everyone is different with their side effects, yes, you will be in shock and overwhelmed at first but the more you learn the more you can understand what is happening and take control of your process. You are not alone here. This is a great place to ask questions and learn what others have experience. Make this your mission to learn all you can. When the doctor says, "I want to do this", you can say, "I heard about this or that and why are you wanting me to do this particular procedure. In a while you will be able to second question the doctors. Believe me, they want someone who is proactive with their own health.

    I noticed that you are sad and lonely. Yes one does feel depressed when one is sick. But that is a vicious circle you get sick therefore you feel sad that makes you sicker which makes you sadder. However there are a few things you can do to feel happier. First banish darkness from your house. Open the drapes and pull back the curtains. If you have a room in your house that is naturally dark don't go there. I switched my bedroom to the front room because it is lighter. my bedroom was sort of a dressing room and sitting room. I am considering getting a "happy lamp" but I am not sure of the safety of them.
    Do you have a companion animal? If you are up to it you might consider getting a dog or cat. A small dog is an excellent companion. If you are able to walk. Will help you get exercise that will help you feel better. I often joke with my friends that have dogs that their companions are their personal trainers. dog people are very friendly and visiting at dog parks can relieve some loneliness If you are looking for low maintenance companion I recommend a cat. But I am a crazy cat lady so I am a little prejudiced. My kitty gives me a full body massage every night. If you do not feel up to a cat or dog, fish can be very calming. Have you ever wondered why many dentists and Dr.s have aquariums in their waiting rooms. Well enough chat there are a lot more ways to combat sadness and loneliness. These are just a few.
