I've been diagnosed with serous adenocarcinoma.. Been told its aggresive cancer. Due to a cancellation my surgery has been brought forward. Its very soon. The surgery is high risk for me due to other issues. I'm worried I may not survive the surgery.. If I dont have the surgery I die, if I do have the surgery I could die or survive.. It's a catch 22 situation.........I keep shaking because of the worry and stress.. My mind keeps saying no to the surgery.
Hi suesuki. So sorry that you find yourself here. You do need the surgery and I'm sure it wouldn't be offered if it was dangerous to you. Have you been assigned a CNS you could talk to ? I know it's very scary. I was diagnosed with the same cancer in 2018 and couldn't wait to get rid of it. I was home the next day.
I send you much love and hugs to try to stop the shakes. Hopefully some other ladies will give you more advice.
Take care
Nannasuki xx
I know that when I get to the operating room I'll just scream and continue to do so. I walked out of eye surgery , it wasnt cancer, and the eye surgeon had a hard time to get me to have the surgery. Worse thing is the hospital where I've got to have surgery has a bad reputation..I've been in this hospital in and out for the last 3 odd months. I feel really ill. Another issue was being dealt with. I need peace and going there I dont get peace of mind.
