My life was going good til I got this news.
Let me start by saying I'm only 29 and I have 4 beautiful children, my life tuned upside down when I did a pregnancy test because I was gaining weight an my periods had been absent for 2 months. I did 3 tests and they came bk positive. I was over the moon as I thought this would change my life forever but it turned out I was wrong. After a few days I started bleeding heavily. I went to the hospital and had countless blood tests and scans before they sent me to a specialist. I then had another scan and was shocked to hear that I have a rare type of germ cell cancer in my right ovary. To top that news off, I found out from my dad that his sister and mother both had the same condition around my age. I never thought this would happen to me. But it did, an I'm not going to let this beat me and neither are you. We can be survivors of cancer if we don't give up hope. That we fight to the end. Cause I know 1 thing, I'm not letting my kids grow up without a mother. I'm beating this 100%.
