Cervical Cancer Awareness Month- JJ's Story

JJ began having abnormal bleeding that she chalked up to be  symtpom of menopause. Never did she imagine it was cancer. 
JJ was at the gym lifting weights when she began heavily bleeding, even to the point she thought she was hemorraging. After seeing her gynecologist and undergoing a biopsy JJ was diagnosed with stage 2b uterine cancer. JJ underwent a hysterectomy, radiation and chemotherapy in the Fall of 2008. 

JJ said she felt shocked at the diagnosed of cancer, and felt a bit in denial. JJ spends her time now making sure women get their woo-haas checked alon with their ta-ta's. Women don't realize they have cancer until later stages. They need to listen to their bodies and see a dr right away. Know the signs and symptoms!
