RainaHavock, February 14, 2009 at 3:15 AM: Yes she deserves much praise. As someone whose lost plenty of relatives to Cancer it's great to see survivor stories. I remember being younger and they thought I might have had a tumor on one of mine ovaries but it turned to be a little bump and it was dealt with quickly. I was lucky because it could have been cancer developing. I encourage all women to get check for all cancer not just Breast Cancer.

Though common in women, it can develop into cervical cancer or HPV if left untreated. Since that time, I have taken on a mission of being more knowledgeable about reproductive cancers. There is one organization that I support called Tamika & Friends, based in Upper Marlboro, MD (www.tamikaandfriends.org).

I definitely understand Chana's feelings of feeling as though life plans were at a halt. I, too, felt like 'damn, there goes the six children that I wanted to have' but it just reinforced my desire to adopt.

Thanks again!
