Dear one, you and I are in the EXACT same boat. My jaw almost hit the floor while reading your post. Seriously, I have the jitters right now!! I also go in for a colonoscopy soon...that is the next procedure I was referring to in my earlier post. I had surgery last month and a carcinoma was found connecting my ruptured appendix to my colon. This is following a hysterectomy and the removal of my ovaries and fallopian tubes (a total of three procedures/surgeries.) It has been a crazy ride since late April/early May of this year.

I am so sorry you feel alone, but PLEASE know you are not!! Even though we are a small group, we are pretty darned supportive and TOUGH and we can help carry you through if you'll let us. I am the absolute worst when it comes to asking for and accepting help...even to the point of feeling the need to leave when things get rough. But I am working on that.

Feel free to PM me if you want to talk more about our situations. Honestly, I feel encouraged to know we are experiencing such similar realities. Just know you can lean on us!

Jo, you got it! I just got home from an ass kicking class where I had to turn a 10 page paper, so my brain is powering down for the night. But I will try to collect my thoughts and post something tomorrow!

Sadly, I am joining this group as well. Three years ago when I went for my annual pap they found a mass in my uterus. They did a biopsy and did not find cancer in the uterus but found funky stuff in the endometrium. The oncologist gave me three choices and out of the three I chose to do nothing for the present. I had already been thru 4 major surgeries and I'm tired. I'm just fucking tired. I'm a fighter. I've been thru many many a battle and always came out the victor. But now, I'm tired. I don't want to fight for a while. I want to rest. I give all of you so much credit for being such valiant warriors. You are such awesome women. It's when you quit fighting that the opportunity to lose exists. I haven't quit fighting. I just needed a break. I just want you all to know that I am ALWAYS here for you to listen to you, laugh with you, cry with you and support you. It's there for the asking.

My light and love to all of you
