New and scared

I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer stage one today.

I am being referred to a specialist (my gyno doesn't treat cancer).

It feels like standing on the edge of a high, high rooftop and looking down.

Any suggestions on managing the anxiety and feelings of being overwhelmed?

Thanks for reading

    It’s not unusual to feel this way initially. Catching it this early makes it highly likely you will beat it and become cancer-free. Sit quietly or lie down and take slow, deep breaths. Easy. No strain. No hurry. Think of a phrase that calms you. Mine is “I am. At peace.” “ I am”as I inhale; “At peace” as I exhale. Sending healing energy your way.
