    About Me

    Conization in 89 for HSIL pap result. Recently had another HSIL pap result and scared to death that this time it will be cervical cancer. I am a single mother of 2 children. Update: I actually have vaginal cancer. Will be receiving radiation/chemo therapy because Dr. wants to preserve sexual functioning due to my age. This treatment would do that and still be as effective as surgery.

    • Close Vaginal Cancer

      Recently diagnosed with vaginal cancer (squamous). First it was believed my HSIL pap result was my cervix, turned out when I went to gyno. for colposcopy, he noticed the mass (size of a nickel to a quarter). And from there to where I am at now, with the diagnosis. Will be having radiaiton/chemo as the oncologist wants to preserve my sexual functioning due to my age.

      Treatments

      Radiotherapy Working / Worked
      Waiting to start treatments. Will find out when it starts on 1/10

      Raising teenage son who is autistic. He is such a great kid with an enormous heart! I am so lucky to be blessed with such a wonderful son.

    • Open Hearing Loss & Deafness
      Type: Sensorineural (Profound)

      My youngest son went profoundly deaf 2 yrs ago and permenantly lost his hearing. His is sensoneural hearing loss. His older brother is autistic, we have an interesting household, I am raising them on my own. I was recently diagnosed with vaginal cancer and going to start treatment soon. Needless to say that we have alot going on in our house daily. But even with all of the challenges we are blessed with each other and we keep each other strong.

      Treatments

      Cochlear Implant Working / Worked
      Works. But my son has days when he prefers to be deaf and not hear a thing. Battled with the school for a while when they were demanding he wear his aid implants, I fought for the surgery and then I fought for his right to be deaf. Funny I know, but sometimes being in the hearing world throws his brain into turmoil and he gets unbearable migraines.
      Hearing Aids Working / Worked
      Wore one in his right ear until it went profoundly deaf just like his left ear.
