I am 23 and I was 21 when I had my lesson on HPV. The sad part was I didn't know much about it until I was told that I had it. When I found out more about it I was terrified! I decided to go to another DR, and when I did I found that the pre cancerous cells only progressed and surgery was a must and fast. I also came to find that my grandmother had cervical cancer, Why didn't anyone fill me in on all of this???

I always went to the Dr every year and I never had any STD's either. I am just so grateful that we were able to take care of it before I had full blown cancer. I think it is so important that EVERYONE is informed of the importance of exams....had I waited I can't say that my outcome would have been the same. Vaccine is so overdue, and I am so glad this is finally being talked about!
