Why I Blog 

I am Nancy Salamone. I’m a survivor of domestic violence. 

For 20 years I kept a secret from my family and co-workers. The secret was that I was physically, emotionally and economically abused by my husband. I kept this secret for 20 years - because I was ashamed.

Then on December 28, 1991 I left.  To this day I do not know the Nancy who left but I will always be grateful to that person inside me who summoned the courage to leave.

I blog here so that I might tell you my story so that women who are in a domestic violent relationship, or those who are struggling with the decision to leave - or who have made the decision to leave, know that there is a way out no matter how long it takes.

I hope that you learn from my story that not only is there a way out but – you too can create the life you want.

You are not alone!

The treatment for HPV was laser surgery, so Dr. Zuckerman performed the surgery in his office and I was instructed to come back in two weeks to see how I was doing.

Two weeks later I was healing and he said he needed to do another PAP test in 2 months to see if the laser surgery got it all.

Unfortunately the laser surgery did not get all the infection and I had to have what is known as a “cervical conization” which is invasive surgery done in a hospital. The pain was excruciating.
