"Ms. Kendall, after careful review of all the X-rays and tests, we are recommending a complete removal of all your reproductive organs. Your ovaries have detached themselves from each other and are saturated with cancer cells. You have tumors with teeth and bone cells inside of them while endometriosis has attacked your uterus and kidneys. Without question, your body was never created to carry a child."
I cried and asked God, "What will be my purpose in life? Why have you created me to be less than a woman?"
