Too stubborn to die

My Reason to Relay

I am participating in the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life because I survived cancer, twice.

My husband says I'll live forever because I'm too stubborn (sometimes ornery) to die. I know that's not true (the living forever part) but I do attribute some part of my survival to my refusal to submit to such a small, malicious thing as the cancer that was growing in my cervix.

At the age of 19 I received my first (Class V) pap smear. Fast forward and I am blessed with the the birth of my son. Thirty days later, I received my second (Class V) pap smear. At 23 years of age I underwent a complete hysterectomy. I have been cancer free for over 22 years now. My miricle baby, as I like to call him, is now on the chancellors list and will be graduating from college this year.
