Story

2016 I had a smear that came back irregular.  I was sent within 2 weeks to the Hospital for more tests. This is when they took biopsy's.

This made a huge impact on mine and my Husband of 6 Months lives.  We tried not to worry and we tried to carry on with our lives but it was always there. The thought I could have Cervical Cancer. I made jokes that if I did, I would be balder than my husband. But the fact was that this could actually happen. 

We tried to get on with our lives but eventually this ate away at me. Causing me to hide myself away from people when I could and even my husband. I couldn't even see the rest of my life anymore as all I could focus on was these results.  6 weeks later they came back as I have CIN2. Which means it could go away by itself but I had to return 6 months later.  June 2017 I went back to the Hospital where I still have CIN2. Biopsy's taken again and another 6 weeks to wait. 

Today I have made a pact. That for all those ladies out there that have been or are going through this, coming out okay or the worst. I am going to spend this next 6 months focusing on raising money for Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust.

On Saturday 28th October 2017 At the Gaping Goose in Garforth.

I will be going bald.  Just to show the people out there that the worst doesn't always happen.  

But what does  happen is just the scare can change your life.
