Title
Beating Cervical Cancer: Kristen’s Story
Description

By Kristen Brindley.

"It all happened in less than a month. An unexpected emergency room visit because of excessive bleeding, led to a two day overnight stay at the hospital with four blood transfusions and six examinations to include a biopsy of my cervix. After the first night the “Cervical Cancer” word started to pop out of the doctor’s mouth. Random words that included tumor, radical hysterectomy, no chance for children … The doctors kept asking me about my Pap smear history. I know I had gone without a Pap smear for over six years, but I had never thought I needed one. Pap smears invaded your privacy, were a nuisance and I was taught that sexually promiscuous people that smoked and had poor life choices were more at risk."
