I am scared, and frightened of the future. I know I am supposed to be positive, but dont know how.
How do I deal with telling people at work, etc? Should I just go with local hospital (which is fine), or seek out some colon cancer expert? I dont know where to begin.
Please do not feel obligated to feel positive.ScaredButGottaWin wrote:I am scared, and frightened of the future. I know I am supposed to be positive, but dont know how.
I did not tell anybody at my work about my diagnosis. I just told my supervisor that I would have a schedulled surgery and would be back in a week or two.ScaredButGottaWin wrote:How do I deal with telling people at work, etc?
