Welcome Katie!

I was 10 years younger than you at diagnosis with three little ones. Never drank, never smoked, never dipped, HPV-, in fact was under the care of dentist for treatment plan for the past 4 years prior to being diagnosed. I always had some type of dr treating me and yet, it was missed and I was stage 4.

Please keep us informed on how your appt goes, so many wonderful people are on these boards. We'd be glad to help you in any way possible.
