Hey. I’m MJ and was diagnosed in July with Cervical Cancer Stage 4B, because it’s spread up to the lymph nodes in my chest. I’m supposed to start Chemo + Immunotherapy utilizing the quadruple protocol (Carbo/Taxol/Beva/Pembro) hopefully next week. I’m extremely anxious & scared & having all the feelings. It’s such an enormous thing to try to accept, process, understand, and fight. Sending out lots of healing, positive vibes to all.🌞🌺🧡💫

Feeling anxious and scared before starting a new treatment protocol is completely natural - these emotions show how much strength it takes to face such a challenging journey. Many people in this community have found that connecting with others who understand this experience, practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing, and taking things one day at a time can help manage these overwhelming feelings while preparing for treatment.
