A survivor�s experience from Detection to Cure

?My name is Elizabeth. I am 56 years old, a teacher by profession and a cancer survivor by attitude.? I want to share my story to encourage others who are affected by this disease. I was a normal, healthy, active person just going about my regular routine when I was struck with this disease. I was diagnosed with cervical cancer in the month of July, after I suddenly started bleeding and the biopsy report confirmed that I had squamous cell carcinoma. Just like anyone else knowing that I had the big ?C? terrified me first. Once it sunk in, I realized that I had to accept it and see what had to be done. Breaking the news to my family and a few close friends was the hardest thing to do. I found then, that I was stronger than most of them as they were the ones who broke down and I had to console them saying that it would all be fine.
