All the doctors I'd seen had said there was nothing serious wrong with me. Eventually the pain got so bad one night that I went into the hospital emergency room. There are four scars here from the different surgeries I've had. Some are all on top of each other so as to not make any new scars. One was from that night when they opened me up to find the tumour. The one on the left is from the colostomy I had to have for a year. There's one from when they tried to save my ovaries by moving them from out of the field of the radiation treatment.
The chemo and radiation treatment worked and when it was all over they used the same scar to open me up and put everything back where it should go. This year will be five years since that day and I am still in remission, although I will never have children. I can't remember any more what I looked like without these scars.
