To me, live strong means Don't Give up HOPE!!!!Pushing myself and not letting anyone to tell me when I'm going to die!!!!! I've worn the yellow wristband because I'd like to share my Story, spread to the world that I'm a survivor. My Story is about positive thinking and Hope....I'm 31 years old and I was diagnosed with small-cell cervical cancer stage IIB in september 2004. I had a radical modify hysterectomy and node ectomy, chemo and radiation. For me, cancer was a deeply personal battle that I fought in very special way thinking about my Mom and my Grandma, my Mom passed away when I was 13 years old from Lupus and my Grandma died from a Brain Tumor just days before I've got married. I never thought they were going to die and they did and that experience served as a wakeup call, I have a little girl, I must be strong for her!! I repited to myself every day, I still wipe away the tears when I think about them. I haven't heard from any long term survivors for this rare type of cancer but I've been cancer free for 2 years and IF I DID IT MEANS YOU CAN DO IT TOO. Never let yourself down, there's HOPE for ALL of US!!! SO STAY Positive, BE BRAVE!!!! TELL THE WORLD YOUR STORY!!! GOD LOVES YOU Tb210675 Mon, 13 Nov 2006 00:00:00 GMT Thank you for your post. My mother is currently battling SCCC, and it is scaring the hell out of me. What can I do as her daughter to help her through this? Bkgirl1981 Mon, 13 Nov 2006 00:00:00 GMT Hello, im new  to  this  message  board and im  here to  gain some support and hopefully  a little  more insite to the hpv 16  i was  just  diagnosed with a couple months ago. Ive had a pap regularly for  years now. Never abnoromal. Not even now, but i  was  tested for  hpv  routinely at  my  doctor's  visit, and found that  i  have the strain 16. Ive  been doing my research online and i  feel confident in my  doctor.I had  a colpol done and she found something on my cervix... I had a biopsy done right then ,  that was  this  past tuesday  and  am  waiting forl  results. Im  trying to  stay positive about it  all. Im a  mother and  worried at the same time about  my  future. I began  this  herbal hpv cervical displasia tincture i  found  locally  and  my  doctor  recamended that  i  try  it  as a  suppliment. Ive also  started taking  prenatal vits   for  the  folic acid  and juice  plus  for  extra  nutritional support. Is there anything out there that  you  or anyone  might  have  info  about suppliments or  herbal supports? Im trying to  educate myself  and  others  the  best i can.  Kali-Ma Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT
