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!

    Erica is a 32 year old cervical cancer advocate who is out living cancer for the third time. When she isn’t advocating for cervical cancer and HPV awareness as a Cervivor Ambassador, she previously oversaw the STEM program at the school where she was an educator; she now helps coordinate the robotics program. Erica enjoys spending time with her husband and son in their Indianapolis neighborhood, as well as pursuing new and adventurous hobbies. She can most recently be found fawning over kayaks and daydreaming of returning to whitewater kayaking with First Descents, an organization for young adults impacted by cancer.
