Meet jojo4
Post body
Hello all
Depending on what part of the country you are in, summer is in full swing. So it is time to meet another community member.
Let's take a minute to meet Joanne, who goes by jojo4 in the community and talks about her experience with soft tissue sarcoma.
My name is Joanne and I am known as jojo4 on cancer connections. I live in the Niagara Region and this cancer journey is scary! I was diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma and have just finished 28 rounds of radiation. I have surgery booked for August 5. I am praying the sarcoma stays contained. I was diagnosed in March. Biopsy in April and plan of care May. I have a very supportive family and many friends and coworkers who offer lots of encouragement and have done many things to make my journey easier. Having cancer is truly One day at a time! The one thing that I would say encourages me is that the Lord brought me to it He will bring me through it!
I enjoy reading and travelling when I can. I enjoy my work and hope to go back. I have many little projects on the go and one day hope to finish them. I realize now is not the time to concentrate on them. I am new to cancer connections and am still trying to navigate my way around. I have had some feedback on my posts about upcoming surgery and having ostomies. And I appreciate each one. It will be a new learning curve and I look towards the surgery with an eagerness to carry on and with a definite amount of anxiety for the uncertainty.
Thank you for sharing with us Joanne!
