In December of 2012 I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. I was scared out of my damned mind. There's just no other way to describe it.
So many questions coursed through my frantic mind...
- Would they be able to get it all?
- Would I be a survivor or another tragic story?
- Would I have to undergo chemotherapy?
- What would I say to my kids if these are my final days?
- If they get it all, How do I live a normal life after cancer?
The news could not have come at a worse time and yet it came at the right time. I found myself closer to God and to my family. We prayed on it and we accepted that whatever was to come was part of God's Plan.
Fortunately, after having an emergency hysterectomy, my doctor confirmed that they were able to remove it all. A few follow-ups since then and everything looks good but my journey did not end there. The weeks after the procedure were rough...
