Lifestyle doesn't affect my health but it is hereditary, for I am fifth in the family having a tumor in my uterus.

For past 10 months I suffered pains in my stomach and I've experienced unusual bleeding which doesn't stop.

I've undergone different kind of test. That's the time I was diagnosed Cario carcinoma a cancer in my uterus (First stage). I am very lucky that it was diagnosed early. I've undergone operation last September 13,2002 and chemotherapy after one month for 3 sessions. I thought its all end of the world for me, but I thanked God I've a strong and supportive family who makes me strong for all the trials that come our way.

God is good and powerful for he gave me another chance to live and enjoy my life with my family.

Since then I'm very health conscious. I'm very much particular of the food we intake, we don't eat processed foods all must be fresh and if possible I'll be the one to prepare and cook it.
