I am new to this site. Diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic endometrial cancer in October 2024 had 6 rounds of chemo, now on Letrizole which is doing good. I am on my own but have had buddy calls last 7 weeks and this has been grat
Hi Marshie,
I too am new to this site, and I must admit that I’m finding these forums quite difficult to use. I am awaiting my diagnosis and finding things extremely stressful. I’m not yet in a position to offer advice on how to cope with it all and I go into emotional overload quite frequently. I manage to make my evenings quite pleasant by watching nature and travel programmes on the tv and enjoying a glass of brandy before bed. It is the night hours that I find very difficult though, every time I go to sleep my doom fairy visits me and reminds me how terrible things are and I wake up in a cold sweat. My answer is to get up and make some coffee and visit these forums looking for mental tips and new ways to cope with things. Everyone seems to be patient and helpful. Good luck to you.
