For months in 2016, mother of three Sharron Ally knew that all was not well with her physically, but even as she sought treatment she persevered with working and providing for her family until a shocking diagnosis literally stopped her in her tracks and today she wishes she had been more alert and concerned about her health.
In mid-2016, Ally was told she had ovarian cancer. Prior to this, she was being treated for gas. She remembers that day as if it were yesterday as she cried uncontrollably, sure that she was staring at death’s door.
Two surgeries later — the first was a hysterectomy and the second the removal of her spleen — Ally is still not out of the woods. She now takes it one day at a time with some days being very bad, some not so bad and others relatively good.
