Jacqueline TeoI too was unfortunately a victim to this scary disease. I was diagnosed in my early 20’s when I was at the University in Australia.
Then, I had no idea, and had to go through a laser treatment process, which helped me get rid of the cancer, and was also on medication for a couple of years. It was very hard for me then as I didnt have many friends just couple family members, whom to say the least didn’t know much about Cervical Cancer. Had I had not pursued that funny tingling feeling, and questioned the doctor about the unusual discharge, and followed what my body wanted me to do at that time. I would have been gone by now. Lucky mine was only in the early stages of displayxia (cancer). so the surgeons could have it lasered out.
So, yes,a serious advice to those girls past puberty and women who are sexually active.. please do an annual pap test, its nothing scary, nothing as scary as a doctor telling you that if you had gone and done your pap test annually, you would have detected your condition earlier and save yourself. Please listen to your body and seek advice if you feel that something is not right!
