Mentally Healthy Mommy

Attending regularly scheduled checkups with your doctor is important. In my case it was an eye opener for me. Sitting in the patient chair. I did not expect those words to come out of my doctor’s mouth. ” The abnormal cells in your cervix have come back more aggressive”. I am only twenty three years old, with a one year old daughter. I can’t afford to be sick. After the first treatment didn’t work, I began to worry. The cells jumped to a more aggressive level. 

All I could think about is my daughter growing up without me. The school dances and performances I would miss. How I would not be able to watch her grow up. I began to pray. I want to encourage other Mothers to get their health checked.

 I am grateful that my doctor caught these cells and started to treat them early. I am still am in the treatment process, but I have faith that I will live a long life. I am a fighter. I want to grow old and see my hair turn grey. I want to hear the laughter of my future grandchildren. I want to see my daughter grow into the beautiful and powerful woman, I know she is going to be. Going to your doctor is extremely important. Make sure you get your physical done. Take care of your health right away. Staying physically healthy is important.
