About Me

I'm happily married. I am also a survivor of ovarian cancer, at the age of 27, I was sent to several different doctor's and they could not find what was wrong with me, I was even told at one point that the problems I was having was in my head. They didn't think because of my age that I could have ovarian cancer, 15 years ago ovarian cancer as in breast cancer was not much talked about. I was finally Thank God sent to a doctor who did the proper test and discovered I did indeed have cancer. I was rushed in for emergency surgery that same afternoon. I had to have both chemo and radiation treatments. I am a strong believer in the power of God and natural medicines, I believe that the chemicals in the food we eat plays a role in cancer and other diseases so therefore I am into all things organic. Cancer runs in my family. My grandmother and my sister both had breast cancer. I've had two uncles die from cancer. Through this page I hope to bring awareness to two very dangerous diseases they show no discrimination of race or age. I know going to the doctor is not a picnic but it could very well save your life in my blogs are symptoms if you have any of them please see a doctor no concern is to small. God Bless each and all who read this.
