cervical cancer

And there's some womb cancer just on the edge there.

Then we have our cervix, which is the neck of the womb, cervical cancer.

This is the vagina.

Remember, vagina is in because it's got I-N.

And that's the whole point.

Until you start checking regularly, you won't necessarily know.

But vulval cancer is often caused by sort of HPV, so the human papillomavirus that also can cause vaginal cancer and cervical cancer.

And what we know is that actually it's rare.

Wow.

Of those, nearly 50% are cervical cancer.

Okay.

The corpus cancer, the endometrial cancer, the uterine cancer counts for approximately 30%.

Then there are cancer in vulva, vagina, the fallopian tube, but they are less, less, less.

They are under 1%, so they are very seldom.

So I think the main focus, and it's actually so easy accessible, is the cervical cancer.

Okay.

That definitely wasn't the case for me.

But as well as that, when I was between 14 and 15 was when the Gardasil injection, the cervical cancer injection, was actually introduced, and so I had that.

I believe there was three, and they were a few weeks apart.

I remember in that time I actually finished school and started working, and so I'm pretty sure I had the first one at school and then the two following ones at the doctor's or something like that.

I can't actually remember fully.

But it was this new thing, and it was meant to beat cervical cancer.

There's a cervical cancer history in my family, a very strong cervical cancer history in my family of resulting in hysterectomy in, in, you know, very, very early ages, 20s and 30s.

So it was something I was always consciously aware of but didn't really know too much about it.
