It's a really interesting read. It def was explained to me nearly 10 years ago when I got it as the cervical cancer vaccine. And having a brother that was going thru cancer - it doesn't surprise me that my mom wanted us to get it. You trust doctors and information you get at face value. I'm fortunate I guess looking back now that I and my sister had no side effects at all.

I've only ever had one partner (my now husband) but still get regular pap smears and check ups - I guess mainly cuz I want to know early if anything is changing. I def never thought that was a cure to ever getting cancer.

Cancer is to fickle - no ones is safe from it unfortunately. How I wish there was a vaccine for cancer!
