I was diagnosed in October of 2024, stage 3. I was given only one option (SURGERY) and very little information from my doctor. I would prefer to not have a radical hysterectomy so I have decided not to have the surgery. At which point I was referred to palliative care.
Glad you are pain free There is comfort in having a plan of action. Hope you find a helpful health plan.
Thank you for asking Karen, I’m doing OK, I have been referred to Hospice Care at this point. My husband and I don’t feel I’m actually ready for that yet and it is very expensive. So we are on our own for now, I will search for a better health plan in November, we are hoping to start with Hospice Services at the first of the year. The Lord has been very good to me, and I am comfortable and pain free for now. Marlene
How are you doing Marlene?
Thank you so much
Hi Marlene. I’m sure you are not alone. And sounds like you are really struggling with your diagnosis. Years ago I had this struggle as well , only I was the caregiver. I’d been going to teaching that essentially said that if I prayed “ hard enough “ that healing would come. I have been forced to challenge that one sided theology. We are truine beings ( spirit soul and body ) (. This is my belief and I am not criticizing any other beliefs- this was my journey). We can be healed in our spirit and soul ( mind will emotions). As well as physically. I know God uses doctors and medicine to help us. And I thank Him for the medical breakthroughs . So while I trust Him I am also getting a non FDA approved pill for treatment of my cancer ( serous endometrial) it has shrunk my tumors by 85%. Praise God. I will be totally healed either this side of Heaven or certainly the other side. The people I’ve met in this journey have affected me deeply and I pray that I also have affected their journeys. Human nature tends toward extremes. Yours is a deeply personal journey and no one can tell you the choices you must make. I hope this helps you . God bless you . Hugs
