HELP ME!
ok well there is this bump
in the crease between my
leg and where my “pubic bone”
starts. I’m really nervous it could be cancer! I don’t know what a tumor
feels like and I’m not sure what
to do. Can you get cervical cancer
if you haven’t started your period
yet? I don’t know, help me!

Saying that cancer in all its forms is dangerous is certainly an understatement. Therefore, it will be quite a good step for every one to take advantage of all preventative measures against it.

And for vaccines like this I think the government will be doing a lot if the make it mandatory for all health insurance carriers to help out. After all, preventing cancer means less claims in the future.

I am a Stage 3B Cervical Cancer Survivor. I created a blog in an effort to raise Cervical Cancer Awareness http://www.cancerlost.blogspot.com. I was 28 when I was diagnosed with advanced Cervical Cancer and my story is a long, painful & inspiring one. Cervical Cancer is not talked about but it touches the lives of every single woman out there. We need to start talking about this cancer because it is not rare and it does kill.
