I feel like I am in a nightmare right now and just want to wake up! Does anyone else feel the same?
Long story short I was diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma of the Cervix Stage 1B2 on 2nd April 2026. Since then it’s been a whirlwind of tests, dates, information, paperwork and worst of all Waiting!!
I was given a date of 11th June for my Radical Hysterectomy surgery but then the surgeon states “Oh no we need to see you before then! Don’t make any plans or go anywhere as we may call you to come in earlier”. This was 3 weeks ago and since then I feel like I have aged a decade!
I have 2 adult daughters and my elderly parents who live with me. I know they love and care for me but I just feel like I can’t cry or let it all out! I feel like I need to be strong for them. I feel trapped in this nightmare! Does anyone else feel like this?
My bags are packed (unpacked and repacked, so many times I’ve lost count!) and I am just waiting to hear or not that I need to go in earlier I attend therapy sessions every week but are the support groups worth a try?
Sending Love and well wishes to everyone dealing with this awful disease ️
