Hi, I'm Paula and am just beginning my journey in my fight with stage
III uterine cancer. I have had the hysterectomy and am waiting to
heal to begin my radiation which will be followed by chemo. My
prayers and thoughts are with you --- In

physician's assistant who will follow my case. And then there is the
echocardiogram -- this one is from the front side and I get to stay
awake. Yaaaa!

oncologist, an endicronoligist to monitor my diabetes, a GP, a
cardiologist, and a cardioly physician's assistant, I have a
therapist to help me come to terms with the frustrations I feel when
I can't remember something. Such fun.....

Coming down, but not all the way. And my blood sugar is not where it
should be. Could that be from the ice cream we've been eating????

support and help when you need it (which I think we all do at times)
is outstanding. I have gone months without posting and then something
comes up and the first place I turn to is this group. I am hopeful
that you find the support that is right for you with this group. If
not, best of luck and know that we are all survivors together! Laurie-
