Newly diagnosed Figo Stage 2
After being admitted to the ICU with a 3.7 hemoglobin (to answer your question I don’t know how I was up and walking around either lol) I had a biopsy, a d&c and received my diagnosis a little over a week ago. I’m 35 and while I was already pretty sure kids were not in the cards for me I am deeply grieving that this choice is being taken away from me, it’s like great I’m going to be 35, single, and barren. I have my first appointment with my oncologist on Monday and I feel like I’ve mostly been in denial because I am in no way mentally or logistically prepared for having major surgery or any of the treatments that might come after. So after all this rambling i guess my question is how do I prepare myself for whats to come? What’s something you wish you knew before surgery? What helped you the most in recovery? How do I stop feeling so betrayed by my body and very quickly make peace with the fact that I’m never having children?
Thank you all for reading the word vomit of a very overwhelmed person who has not slept very well in over a week because of the anesthesia from my D&C and cancer diagnosis lol
ETA- flubbed the terminology in the title I meant Figo Grade, from what I understand staging comes after surgery.
