I am Laurie Cardin a nine-year cervical cancer Survivor and founder of Cervical Cancer Colorado Connection,I advocate for cervical cancer prevention, awareness and connect survivors with support. No one fights alone.
I began my cancer journey going to this gyno cancer lunch when I was diagnosed in 2013. This group helped keep me grounded knowing I was not fighting alone, and I could talk about anything in this group without judgement and feel safe. Covid canceled our healing group for 2 years; it was time to start again! It has been my pleasure to Sponsor the Gynecology cancer Support Group Lunch that meets in-person every 2ndThursday of the month! The lunch is open to any Gynecology cancer Survivor in or out of treatment. The aim of this group is to give you the opportunity to meet with other Survivors, share experiences, support each other, and see that you are not alone.
Can’t wait to meet you!
Recognize the physical and emotional stress attending gatherings may create. It is perfectly acceptable and appropriate to modify your plans to make time for adequate rest.
Focus on balanced meals, avoid excesses and make time for light exercise to reduce stress.
Self-care is an essential part of maintaining well-being and managing stress. Allow time for self-care activities you enjoy such as reading, listening to music or crafting. Pedi, Hair Day!
Remember it is normal to experience feelings of sadness over how cancer may have changed your holiday season.
Be patient, compassionate and gentle with yourself.
Though it may be uncomfortable expressing these normal feelings with family, friends or a helpful professional, do it anyway.
You might also consider joining a support group.
Remember your not alone.
Cervivor is a global community of patient advocates who inspire and empower those affected by cervical cancer by educating and motivating them to use their voices for creating awareness to end stigma, influence decision and change, and end cervical cancer.

no more need to die from Cervical cancer
Kristina Words: These last couple of days, I allowed myself to be totally open and vulnerable. I allowed myself to show what cancer looks like in my world.
No makeup.
No fillers.
I laughed. I cried. I went into shock to see how much emotion I had in my eyes and face.
I did it for the person who is scared.
I did it for someone who feels alone.
I did it for someone who no longer feels beautiful, when raw beauty is real beauty.
I did it for that one person who needed it.
I did it because in the storm of cancer, life can still be beautiful.
