Trying to make sense of it all.....

I think we qualify. Kath said that in her post - people do die of Grade 1 cancers. I needed to hear that. I think I nudge stage 2 because the larger tumour was 2cm. I think it has to be less than 2cm to qualify as stage 1. My head tells me all the correct things and I think I cut myself short - it’s still cancer. I accepted the Endopredict. It’s very expensive but it will tell me around the potential to recur which is what I want to know. For us, logistically, it’s going to be a nightmare because we do not have radiotherapy in Shepparton. We have chosen to go to Bendigo and my husband is saying we’ll commute each day, to allow at least some of the day be predictable and we’ll be home each day. My two adult boys have intellectual disabilities which are severe. Their sister will fill in as much as possible. I am not sure how that is going to look for me yet. I think we need to acknowledge we do in fact have cancer although it is very treatable. I know that I haven’t been able to predict my emotions either and I have had a few ‘wobbly’ days. The women in this thread have been very supportive of me. Hugs. Good luck with your surgery and let us know how you go. Janine.
