Losing It: The Semi-Scandalous Story of an Ex-Virgin

Who knew first love would be such a pain in the hoo-ha? I had expected all the traditional insecurities that go along with losing the V-card: Will he respect me afterwards? Do I look fat without any clothes on? Can he tell I have no idea what I'm doing? What I didn't expect was a phone call from my doctor, a conversation about cervical cancer, and almost two years of constant doctors' appointments and procedures. Follow me as I navigate the road to recovery—both emotionally and physically—with bad dates, good friends, and some time on my therapist's couch. Welcome to my semi-scandalous life.
