POCC = Power over Cervical Cancer.
I would like to take this opportunity to help create awarness on Cervical Cancer, to everyone around me whom i love and care, to everyone who are reading this as well.
NO, you don't have to be a woman to be reading this.
because Men, you can do a part too by spreading your love to women around you, creating the awarness. :)
It's really a very IMPORTANT message which i'm going to share today.
Cervical Cancer is no joke.
WHY?
1) it's the 2nd most common cancer amongst women worldwide.
2) there's NO CURE, only prevention!
3) there's no symptons at early stages, so you won't even realise you have it until you go for regular Pap Smears test.
OHHH MYY GODD.....
ain't that scaring you?
Anyone whose sexually active should get a regular Pap Smears test, i would suggest on at least once every 2 years.
then the question comes : HOW DO YOU GET CERVICAL CANCER?
Cervical Cancer is when cells in your cervix grow Abnormally. and it's caused by a virus call HPV (Human Papillomavirus). HPV is very COMMON. it's normally spread through sexual activity. at least 80% of the women will get affected by HPV once in their lifetime. our body can fight most HPV infections, but sometimes our body cannot effectively clear the virus, causing the infections to remain in the cervix. Cervical cancer can take YEARS to develop, so early detection via regular checkup is the key to prevention and cure.
I've booked my appointment for my Pap Smear already!!! so have you?
it will probably cost around $40, very affordable and it's very worth it.
don't leave it to chance, we can be control of our lives. :)
