My name is Jenny and I am 26 years old from Scotland. I have never written a blog before and don't really know where to begin or what to include but I have a story and its one I would like to share.....
I was diagnosed with Cervical cancer stage 2b in Septemer 2012 (not long after my 25th birthday). The irony here is it was my mothers gynaecologist,when she was having me, that diagnosed me. He helped to bring me safely into the world and now he is telling me news that could end my life at the...
This always gets me people say don't worry about the future you can't predict it, Well actually with cancer treatment I feel like a mystic meg but always right. People say you can't be sure what your doing next weekend let alone a years time, Um yes I can, I be in a hospital bed having poison pumped though me.
