High grade stromal sarcoma, shocked and anxious!

Hello, I have been just diagnosed with high grade stromal sarcoma.  I am in absolute shock!  I had a hysterectomy 10 months ago because I had multiple fibroids and had heavy bleeding.  After hystereomy histology results showed that all clear and no cancer. I was living for 10 months without any problems,  symptoms.  And few weeks ago I had unexplainable bleeding,  went to A&E department where they found the mass on the place where uterus was. After biopsy they said it's sarcoma. Also they done Pet scan and sarcoma spread to lungs and lymph nodes. I can't stop crying. I am 48 years old  I have my lovely aughters 9 years old. I can believe! I have been referred to the hospital sarcoma unit, and my first appointment in 2 days. Is anyone here had a same diagnosis please? Or any advice? I will l be so grateful.

thank you for reading 

Regards, Jelena
