Thankful to find you!

you got here!  We've been waiting for you.  Please jump right in.  

This is the most amazing group of ladies - you can feel free to come here for support, questions, venting etc. etc.  Someone is usually along fairly quickly to help out as we link arms and walk this journey together.  I feel so blessed to have found this place to come.  Sounds like you've already been through a lot.  Prayers as you continue and as always (((HUGS)))

It's a shame it took you so long to find us...I can't remember how I stumbled onto this site, but it's a safe place for us all to come to when we need the company of others who get us like nobody else can. Feel free to chime in whether you feel like you're contributing or in need for yourself. You just never know when what you share or express will help someone else even when you are just letting off some steam or falling apart. You are not alone when you come here!

Welcome Tripsie! Glad you found us. Please don't hesitate to come here for anything. Nothing is off-limits.

Love and Hugs,

Cindi

This website has a LOT of information concerning the different types of uterine cancers that all the ladies have or have had. I have been on the site since 2011 some even longer.  Sadly some of the original ladies that contributed to the information have passed, some do not come often but still check in.  All of the back history of the site and their journeys are still here.  Great place to come and vent when things are going bad and to celebrate when things are great. trish

Welcome Tripsie! Feel free to join in when you are ready! This is a wonderful place for support and info

I love what you said in your initial post, "...I wish you all the best, strength, courage and determination not to let this run your life and control your mind." I truly believe that a diagnosis, such as all ours, can be just as hard on us mentally, as it is physically. 

When I received my diagnosis, there was much gloom and doom in my household. And, much reason to believe there was no hope, as all the studies found were very out-dated and offered nothing positive. Finding this site, gave me much hope and encouragement.

Prior to getting my pathology report, but after finding this site, I sat my family down and said, "We are NOT going to let Cancer define me or this family!  We are NOT going to let it rob us from our daily joy. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow. I could drive out this driveway today and be hit and killed by a truck, and not cancer. It is inevitable, each of us will die."  I then went on to ask them, "Would you rather have notice of Mom passing or loose me suddenly?" Of course, they answered to have notice.

From that day forward, I have been determined to put Cancer at the back of my mind and not let it rob from my family or our uncertain future. My diagnosis is rarely a conversation, in our home. In fact, now that I have been feeling well and somewhat normal (my new normal - Lol!), I forget all about what I have gone through and the reality of its seriousness. When someone asks how I'm doing and then goes on to say I look so good, I literally have to stop and think why they're asking that and making that comment. I shock myself, at times, with how much I have been able to push it to the back of my mind. That's when I'm the happiest - when it is suppressed and not a thought in my day.  Worrying and letting it control us, will not change our outcome, but instead rob us of each new day's joys and blessings.

Be blessed, continue being a warrior, keep us updated, and Happy New Year!!!
