  1. My best friend died this past august as a result of having cervical cancer.
    first and foremost, cervical cancer is the only cancer that you get as a result of being infected from a virus. The virus is HPV.
    there are 30 to 40 types of HPV genital types. But there are 2 types #16 and #18 )which cause 70-percent of cervical cancers.
    HPV TRANSMISSION—WHO GETS IT?
    Human papillomavirus (HPV) affects both females and males. HPV transmission can happen with any kind of sexual, genital contact with someone who has HPV—intercourse isn’t necessary.
    Many people who have HPV don’t even know it, since the virus often has no signs or symptoms. That means HPV transmission can happen without anyone knowing it.
    There are about 6 million new cases of genital HPV* in the United States each year. It’s estimated that 74% of them occur in 15- to 24-year-olds.
    MY BEST friend was experiencing a lot of pain when she urinated. doctors kept treating her for kidney stones. her lower back ached a lot too. she became depressed and everyone thought she was being hypochondriac. Later on it turns out, the pain she was feeling…was the tumor pressing up against her ureters. This is why she felt she had to pee all the time and also explains her lower back pain. she described it as a very dull aching sensation.
    The best way to prevent this frm happening…is to just go to routine pap smears. That is what the pap smear is for. To see if there is any irregularity with your cells on your cervix. You should go every 6 months.–if my friend had gone to her pap smears regulary..she would most likely be here today…i miss her so much.’
    take care

  2. The early symptoms of cancer of the cervix are an irregular and unatural discharge, which may be blood-tinged, or the appearance of blood after the cessation of the montly periods at the time of the change of life.
    Weather these symptoms are present or not, i suggest you go to a doctor and get a cerival scan and cervical cancer vaccination.
    good luck

  3. Not all cancers are hereditary.
    Cervical cancer is NOT. It is caused, in most cases by the HPV, the only way to make an early diagnose (no symptoms yet), when it can still be cured is with the pap smear.
    When it starts to show sypmtoms, it’s too late to cure it. Symptoms include post coital bleeding, pelvic pain even renal disfunction.

  4. I’ve known a few girls who got this.
    1. PAIN PAIN PAIN
    2. weird discharge
    3. bleeding when you aren’t on your period
    If you think you have this you need to go to your gyno ASAP! This is serious stuff

  5. hello.
    Colon cancer is a leading sickness and one that could cause lifetime altering consequences. As a matter of fact, this variety of cancer is among the most common in the United States. Almost all colon cancer patients suffer from polyps, which is irregular cells that build clusters. Once regular cells begin to transform, a likely problem comes up. While time advances, these growths become larger and could contribute to the development of cancer.
