In August 2003, I was diagonsed with cervical cancer. I was set to start the police academy in September 2003. I was told my by doctor that the best course was a hysterectomy....I was 23. I sought out three other doctors, and found one that said we could try a procedure called a LEEP...where they remove a part of the cervix to try to remove the abnormal cells.

In August 2003, I was diagonsed with cervical cancer. I was set to start the police academy in September 2003. I was told my by doctor that the best course was a hysterectomy....I was 23. I sought out three other doctors, and found one that said we could try a procedure called a LEEP...where they remove a part of the cervix to try to remove the abnormal cells. I chose this option...knowing it wasn't 100%...but staying positive that it could potentially take care of the problem.

I had surgery at the beginning of September 2003, and started the police academy 2 days later...probably not the BEST idea, but I managed through.

I was then scheduled for testing every 3 months after that. My doctor said that once I recieved 3 normal tests in a row, I could come every 6 months....and once I had 3 more normal tests in a row, I could go back to once a year.

That was in 2003. I still go every 3 months....They have yet to be "normal" (though there has been no change for the worse either, which is still good).

My test in May 2010 showed no change.....then I found Shakeology....what an amazing product.....I began drinking it every day as a meal replacement with some fruit. I also began working out.

In August 2010, I had my FIRST normal test in SEVEN YEARS!!!!! I saved the paper my doctor mailed to me and I keep it in my Bible. Can you even IMAGINE my astonishment??!!! I was like..."did they test the right area??"..."are they SURE this is MY test results??"....

I have to give credit to God first, then diet/exercise...and shakeology...with cancer-fighting ingredients like flax seed....

**UPDATE** My test in March AND June showed NO CANCER!! Still on the right track!!! YAY!!! The next test is scheduled for December 2011.

Decide, Commit, SUCCEED!!!
