I in my mid 30s now, I have many friends who have had cervical and ovarian cancer, even as young as 18 - they are all healthy now and made it through, but without the routine annual check - two of them probably wouldn't still be here to raise their own children.<br /><br />You are a blessing to sooooo many around you, for sharing things so openly and honestly.Smith Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12476132275519694944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5535095.post-2571283801188311862009-09-18T20:54:35.847-07:002009-09-18T20:54:35.847-07:00What an amazing way to honor your mom.What an amazing way to honor your mom.Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135238062740141298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5535095.post-40566219562768629572009-09-15T20:21:09.952-07:002009-09-15T20:21:09.952-07:00Oh Christine...how I feel your pain!
