No Butts About It Jennifer Taylor

When you're a 29 year old full-time student and mother of two, nothing quite throws your life for a severe twist than a cancer diagnosis. Cancer scares the life out of most any one - now factor in facing the second deadliest cancer there is in the United States. It also doesn't help that things like bowels and rectums are rather taboo. I grapple with morality, thoughts of suicide, the humiliation of the taboos surrounding my particular diagnosis, and just getting through each day in one piece. Through the pain and tears, I somehow managed to stay optimistic. I learned that each day is a gift not meant to be wasted, and that a little bit of laughter, in the face of my situation, goes a long way.
