Re: cancer-sorry guys

[Guest guest]

I went through the gyno part...except at least your doctor " tried "

to numb you BEFORE poking and proding. My gyno/oncologist in

Colorado tried to take scrapes of my uterus with no pain meds,

shots, or anything. It hurt for weeks after. Now that I've gone

through cervical and ovarian cancer I know what you are going

through. I have just been diagnosed with Extraovarian Primary

Peritoneal Cancer. If you need any help with the gyno/oncologist

part I'm here for you. Prayers do work believe it or not.

Blessings,
