Your Story Matters

I really appreciate all of the support I have been seeing for Cervical Cancer Awareness Month!  Today I wanted to take a quick break and ask about you.  What is your story?  Are you a cervical cancer survivor or patient?  Are you one of my family members or friends?  Do you have a blog of our own?  Reader - who are you?

I think it is important to note, every story matters.  I cannot describe how informative it can be to read another individual's story.  Typically, there are connections which can be made that you don't even think about to begin with!  I would love to hear from you and find out your story.  Check out these questions to get you started in telling your story:

​

• What is your experience with cancer?
• Where does your story begin?
• What message do you want to tell?

If you have cancer, or you are a cancer survivor:

• What type of cancer do you have?
• What stage is your cancer?
• When were you diagnosed?
• What symptoms led to your diagnosis?
• What type(s) of treatment have you experienced?
• If you are currently in remission, what is it like to be out of active treatment?
• What is one piece of advice you would give to a newly diagnosed individual?

If you are a caregiver, friend, or supporter:

• How are you associated with the individual with cancer?
• What has the cancer diagnosis of your loved one taught you about yourself?
• What has cancer taught you about the individual with cancer?
• How has your perspective changed since your loved one was diagnosed?

Are you ready to share your story?  I'd love to hear from you in my comments.  

Are you a cervical cancer survivor or patient?  Cervivor would love to hear your story too, there is even a place you can go here, on the Cervivor website, to easily submit your story!
