So yes, you should have regular check-ups and be tested often. It does sound like an inheritated trait in your family. Not only on your mom's side, but your father's as well. Continue to be checked often, every six months would make me feel better, and then you can get help before it reaches advanced stages. If you want, PM me and tell me of your other problems. I am hear to listen. I have had a few tragic experiences in my life as well.

I'm New here,
I got told that I had cervical cancer 2007 in Feb , and had a some of my cervix removed I was sad to think that a person like myself who was so fit and healthy never ate junk I have been an aerobic/ gym instuctor for 14 years now You just dont think that it could happen to you. Well , since then I have had another child which at 18 weeks had to have a stich put in to hold my cercix together ... I got told no sex , lifting, standing for long periods and to rest as much as one can... So I spent many a day swimming as it was a hot summer here in Australia. I went into labour at 36 weeks and had the stich removed she was born with only 2 pushes... # weeks after birth I had a prolase .. NOw that would have to be the most scary to ever happen to me, as I had only ever heard of this happening to the aged not someone just after giving birth and at the age of 35 .but the good news is that it does heal itself I had a ring inserted for 4 weeks and it worked. Yeah!! I went for a check up only to discover that I'm still hpv positive I got told that you are only ment to have the virus for 2 years????? I have to go back in Dec for another check up and tests I would reallylike to have another child so cross your fingers for me

Yeah - a miracle baby - what is her name and how much did she weigh?

What is hpv - is it the virus they can give you a vaccination for?

Congratulations on your little one - is this your first?

We named her Alirah, she weighed 6lb good size , she is my 3rd child
We just love her to bits... Looking forward to having a brother or sister for her to play with in the never future.Hpv is the human papaloma Virus, it is the thing that starts abnormal cells to start growing, then turning into cancer. Thank goddness girls are know getting the vaccination for it. Cancer is a pretty scary thing.. I wish every one health and happiness

My mom almost had Cervical Cancer and I know that makes the risk of me getting it even higher.
I'm not really worried about it right now because I just had an appointment with my Gyno not too long ago and everything looked fine.
But I'm gonna stay on top of it because for one, it's one of the leading causes of death in woman.
I don't wanna be one of the many.
