I come from a huge family and growing up the only one I knew had cancer was my grandmother, she had Cancer of the Uterus. How she survived without a hysterectomy I don't know. Nobody in the family talked about it, I knew a little because I was a bit of a nosy child and would listen in on the adult conversations.
So how grandma made this amazing leap to heal from Cancer back when technology was in it's infancy, is a mystery to me. For we still don't talk about it, despite having a cousin pass 2 years ago from colon cancer, another cousin fighting colon cancer, my sister fighting colon cancer and myself, waiting for my 6 month follow up since my hysterectomy for cervical cancer. A would ask grandma but she passed 6 years ago from a stroke. I miss her so much.
Last year the town I live in, Rincon, PR had it's second cancer relay. I didn't get to participate for at the time I was under going testing to find out what was wrong with me.
