Frustrated
by: DeeDee on Fri, Sep 21 2007

Hi there I am 34 years old and just found out that I have cervical cancer. I am waiting for my doctor to schedule the hysterectomy but I am sad. I finally found a wonderful man to spend my life with and I wont be able to have a child with him. I have a 7 year old little boy who is my life but i am sad that he will always be an only child. My mother died last year of ovarian cancer ( i didnt know her) and I have suffered with PCOS for about 5 years. So they are going to take everything out. But I feel like they are taking out what makes me a woman and I am not sure how I will feel afterwards. I feel so blessed and so sad at the same time. Any help would be appreciated.
