This is a personal one from me.
I was diagnosed with cervical cancer at 27. I was vaccinated a few years earlier, privately, but it was too late for me.
I had surgery 1 week after my wedding. It was caught early and I was lucky but the outcome could have been different.
Get checked & vaccinated!

CIDRAP tells one family's HPV story.
One sister was vaccinated in 2006.
The other developed cervical cancer from persistent HPV and died at 33.
Screening and HPV vaccination can prevent most cervical cancers.
