I was diagnosed with cervical cancer at 33. I had to have an D&C, IVP & a C-Scan. The Dr gave me 2 choices, radiation or surgery. I chose the surgery and still had to have the radiation. So far I have been clean for 9 years. My oldest sister had a biopsy and was dianosed with colon cancer this past Feb, they rushed her into surgery and took out most of her cancer. On April 18 they performed a colostomy to see if that would help and when they opened her up it was terrible, they did the colostomy any ways. On May 9, she died. Please if you notice anything wrong, get it checked, she didn't and now she is gone.
