Frustrated In Colorado

Less than one minute read time.

Hi.  This is my first foray into anything like this.  I was diagnosed with endometrial uterine cancer over a month ago.  So far this process has both been mentally and physically painful for me.  Currently in pain and waiting for news that I can start chemo.  All that has been happening is 1 test after another racking up hospital bills and keeping me from working.  I have been on leave for over a month now with only 4 weeks left to start treatment.  I fear losing my job and benefits.  I had a complete meltdown today cause I was in so much pain and not getting any answers from the doctors or insurance.  I scared my husband cause I had thoughts of ending it all because I just can't take it anymore.  I just don't see any end in sight or feel I'll ever get better. Please.....I need help

    I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis of endometrial cancer. I also had the same cancer and I am one of the Community Champions for the Womb cancer forum.

    I wonder if you would like to join the group to enable you to get some support from ladies in a similar situation.

    I remember my own diagnosis and how difficult it was and I had similar worries regarding work. I also had chemo and remember how overwhelming it can all feel. There are many lovely ladies in the Womb group who I know will want to share their experiences with you and will want to offer support. 

    It can be very hard when you first have that diagnosis and the treatment is all ahead of you but it does get easier once treatment has started. My treatment ended 2 1/2 years ago and I am doing well.
