The C-Word

I was diagnosed with a Stage 1BII endocervical adenocarninoma on March 17, 2015 at home in Kansas City, Missouri. My journey over the next few weeks took me to family homes in Dallas and Humble, Texas; to waiting rooms at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and Medial City. I’ve had biopsies and scans, heart-stopping horrible news and elating good news. I’ve had organs removed and repositioned, follow-ups, and finally release. For now, I am cancer free.

Thanks to Greg Kendall-Ball asking me to host the Missouri School of Journalism's photojournalism department's Instagram account last week, I was forced to put together a cohesive edit. If you would like to see what I posted (along with some other really great work by current students and other alumni) you should give the account a follow, @thephotolab.

Due to the nature of the places I was in not being camera-friendly, all photos were taken on my iPhone 4S and 5S (I got a new phone halfway through). Thanks for looking.
