    Lorikat. Hang in there, you
    Lorikat. Hang in there, you can do this. Just keep telling yourself "this is one of the most CUREABLE cancers." I myself am faced with a new problem...going to Karmanos on Tuesday. Karmanos the BIG DOG! The evil "unknown" has been eating me alive this past few weeks since I went for my annual GYN exam. And the dreaded "Tuesday" has seems to be a eternity away. I also have deep moments of doubt. I just want you to know it is ok to be scared, but don't let negative feelings consume you. This site is a great source of information from people who have experienced many of the same issues you are about to under go. Note I did not say problems....they are issues. Issues can be addressed and dealt with. Wonderful support group here. Keep us informed, we will walk you thru it.
