What do you think about the cervical cancer jab for girls the Government are discussing? This would be given to girls aged 12 to 13 in three doses over six months at a cost of £300 a course. The vaccine would help prevent cervical cancer as it protects against the STD, Human Pappillomavirus infection HPV which causes most cases of cervical cancer. The Government have agreed to it in principle but they have to review the costs to the NHS. Personally I think this jab can only be a good thing as so many women die of cervical cancer in this country (over 1000 a year) and if it helps to prevent it then that's great. The innoculations may start in Autumn 2008 and will not be compulsory. The Cervical Smear testing programme will continue as this jab won't protect against all strains of the HPV infection. There are HPV vaccines available now in the UK but haven't been approved for use by the Government. Some people apparently are worried this jab will increase promiscuity in young girls as it's given before they become sexually active. What do you think about this vaccination?

How is cervical cancer diagnosed and treated today and in the 90s? Recently, someone in my family said they had cervical cancer and was diagnosed 10 years ago. In the beginning, they said that the doctor performed a pap smear, and from this, diagnosed her with cervical cancer. He gave her 10 to 15 years to live and told her, "Live your life!". Apparently, in the 90's, their was no cure or even treatment for this form of cancer. However, after researching cervical cancer, I discovered that cervical cancer was typiclly caused by HPV, that a bioapsy must be performed in order to even diagnose this form of cancer, there are treatments, it's curable, and doctors typically give people 5-years to live upon diagnosis. I presented these facts to the person making this claim and was told that in the 90s there was no cure for this cancer...the terms she used to describe her diagnosis wasn't medical at all. What are the symptoms of cervical cancer? Ways it is diagnosed and treated? Was it treatable in the 90s? How can someone survive for 10-years?

How is being vaccinated for cervical cancer different from being vaccinated for measles or whopping cough? Okay - I'll be honest I don't see the problem, our school district had a long list of vaccinations like measles - before any of our children could start school. Now my children are out of school. Also our daughter had to pay for her vaccination, which being over 18, it was her choice to have. I believe if offered years ago, I would of wanted my child vaccinated against this form of cancer. Can someone tell me why they wouldn't want it? I am open and honest and really want to understand? Are the objections about the vaccine realistic or just political hype ? There are currently many diseases a child must be vaccinated against to even attend school - how is this different? The Governor of Texas made it mandatory to be vaccinated for human papillomavirus that cause most cases of cervical cancer. Governor Perry also directed state health authorities to make the vaccine available free to girls 9 to 18 who are uninsured or whose insurance does not cover vaccines.
