I was diagnosed with cervical cancer two years ago and I was told that I needed surgery. I was too afraid to go through the surgery and last month, my doctors told me that the cancer had spread to my stomach. I am here today because I have pain, no place to live and I am depressed. I was staying with a family, but they kicked me out. My two children refuse to take me in and they want nothing to do with me; because they blame me for the sexual abuse my husband committed against our daughter.
