This book was originally written beginning two months before my husband and I were married and completed as a gift for him on our 1st Anniversary. Since then a 20-Year Follow-up, 25-Year Follow-up with Travel and Adventure including photos, Poetry, and Pearls of Wisdom sections have been added. The book is written in a fun, flow of consciousness "diary-type" style format and was meant as a 25th Anniversary Gift. It contains effective actions that make a loving relationship work in real-time. It is written from experience and from the heart, combining love and romance with spirituality, travel, and adventure! With all the discord in the world lately, the invisible warrior Covid-19 of 2020, nightly protesting, shootings, and rioting, I decided to share it with the public. This was done in the hope that it may inspire, give ideas, or help someone to have an incentive to believe in true love and create a reality for their own dreams to come true. Perhaps then, they too can pass it on to help the world become a brighter place.

At age twenty-six, author Michelle L. Whitlock thought she had it all: her health, a promising career, and a budding new romance. Then she learned that she had HPV, and weeks later her worst nightmare became her reality: she was diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer. Adamant to preserve her fertility, she refused a radical hysterectomy and chose a less extreme, fertility-saving procedure. The surgery was a success, but just years later-a week after the love of her life proposed-Michelle discovered her cancer was back. In this memoir, Michelle narrates her journey through and beyond cancer. She took charge of her health care by carefully choosing doctors and her treatment options. In just eight short weeks, she planned a destination wedding, harvested eggs, and with her fianc, created embryos-their "maybe babies." She got married and ten days later underwent a radical hysterectomy, followed by chemotherapy and radiation. At twenty-nine, Michelle found herself with a new normal, which included menopause, hot flashes, a shortened vagina, and lack of sexual desire. She opens the door to her most intimate moments, frankly sharing how she worked to regain her sex life and providing other women in this situation a roadmap to do the same. This is one woman's story of falling in love, battling HPV and cervical cancer, facing sexual dysfunction and infertility, and becoming her own best advocate.

This book isn't just for those who have survived cancer-it's for the masses. How I Lost My Uterus and Found My Voice is a thrilling look at life." -Tamika Felder, founder of Cervivor.org

I wrote this book for the women that don’t like me. So they can know how I feel inside. And all the other men just like me. My look says it all, and that’s why a lot of women don’t want to talk to me. But that’s okay; you’re not right for me anyway. Because sometimes I’m not right for myself. And that’s why I’m by myself. But times are changing. And I know you are looking at me. Bye. Mr. John Cole! ^_^
