Skolopad was diagnosed with cervical cancer. One of the things that robbed her of her plans to get married and have more children.<\/p>\n

“It was really really difficult. I cried and I was very upset\u201a but I had to accept it because I know what it was like. It really upset me.”<\/p>\n

Her plans had to change as she could not have any more children.<\/p>\n

“It wasn\u2019t part of my plan (to have cancer). I had things planned out. I was looking forward to getting married and having children.”<\/p>\n

Change of focus<\/h3>\n

Skolopad now changed her focus and solely dedicated it all to her 17 year old daughter.<\/p>\n

“I look after my animals now. I read that losing an animal can be as hard as losing a human and I think that is true. I love my cat so much. Recently\u201a I had to move accommodation and the new place wouldn’t allow me to have a cat. I told them to voetsek and I went to find another place to stay.”<\/p>\n

She is currently looking forward to getting married.<\/p>\n
