“It has been months. I have been thinking about going and do the test and for some reason I just not making the time to go. It’s not money, it’s like the battle of my mind. Then recently I am taking a shower and I passed my hand across my left breast and it felt funny.
“Well, you could imagine. Like I just went cold and numb at the same time. I said to myself that I have cervical cancer and breast cancer and that is the end of me. I start imagining my death, the funeral and how my children will be affected.”
