🗣️This is important!

America’s puritanical, homophobic, anti-vaccination, anti-sex education, “morality” mentality is killing people.

"Every year, over 350,000 women die from cervical cancer and another 660,000 are diagnosed. [Note: Plus trans men and other trans people with a cervix.] As a consequence, children are orphaned, families impoverished and communities diminished by the loss of mothers, wives, daughters and sisters. 

And yet, unlike most other cancers, almost all these cases and deaths can be averted. We have powerful vaccines that can prevent infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes cervical cancer; we have diagnostics to detect it early; and we have treatments for those it strikes. With these tools, cervical cancer can not only be stopped; it could become the first cancer to be eliminated. Some high-income countries are already close to elimination, meaning fewer than four cases per 100,000 women.

But in many low- and middle-income countries, these tools are still not available, which is why 94% of cervical cancer deaths occur in those countries. 

In 2018, WHO launched a global call to action to eliminate cervical cancer, which was followed in 2020 by the adoption by all 194 WHO Member States of a Global Strategy to Accelerate the Elimination of Cervical Cancer as a Public Health Problem. The strategy calls for countries to achieve three targets by 2030: 90% of girls fully immunised against HPV; 70% of women receiving timely screening; and 90% of those found with precancer or cancer accessing treatment.

These targets are not just aspirational, they are achievable, even in low- and middle-income countries.  Bhutan has already reached the targets, the first to do so in the South-East Asia region. 

Since introducing the HPV vaccine in 2011, Rwanda has reached vaccine coverage of 90%, and today announced its national goal to reach the 90-70-90 targets three years ahead of schedule, by 2027. Already, in two districts – Gicumbi and Karongi – Rwanda is meeting those goals. Nigeria, which introduced the HPV vaccine in October last year [2023], has already vaccinated 12.3 million girls.  

We have the tools and the opportunity to eliminate cervical cancer. 

Since WHO issued the global call to action in 2018, more than 60 countries have introduced the HPV vaccine into their immunisation programmes, bringing the total to 144 countries that are routinely protecting girls from cervical cancer in later life. With scientific advances, we can now prevent cervical cancer with just a single dose, which 60 countries are now doing.  

The largest provider of HPV vaccines to low- and middle-income countries is Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, which plans to vaccinate 120 million children between now and 2030. But this plan requires that investments in health are sustained. We are also counting on manufacturers to confirm and honour their commitments to provide HPV vaccines to low- and middle-income countries in the coming years, to avoid the supply constraints that held back progress in the past.

But we cannot rely on vaccines alone. The impact of the rapid scale-up in vaccinating girls now will not be seen for decades, when they reach the adult years when cervical cancer typically appears. To save lives now, we must match the increase  in vaccination with increases in screening and treatment. 

Decades ago, as more women gained access to pap smears in developed countries, the mortality associated with cervical cancer dropped rapidly. Today, even better tests are available. Over 60 countries now include high-performance HPV tests as part of their screening programs. Women can even collect their own samples for HPV testing, removing more barriers to life-saving services. In Australia – which is on track to become one of the first countries in the world to achieve elimination – more than a quarter of all screening tests are now done this way...

Several countries are also investigating the use of artificial intelligence to enhance the accuracy of screening in resource-limited settings. When women are found with precancerous lesions, many are now treated with portable battery-powered devices, which can be operated in remote locations."

Something I'm learning about having symptoms of cervical/vaginal cancer is that doctors literally do not give a fuck.

I have been having these symptoms for a decade. I saw so many doctors who just shrugged their shoulders and told me not to worry about it. I had to advocate for myself *so hard* to even get myself the ultrasound that showed I had a mass. And then when I tried to get a biopsy of it, the nurse practitioner actively stopped me and told me to just wait and see if I got better.

This is a summary, by the way. This is the short version of what I've been through. I have seen so many doctors who heard me describe clear symptoms of cancer, multiple times, over a decade, and did not give a single shit.

If you have any symptoms of cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, or any other kind of cancer -- including a lot of bleeding, or a lot of discharge, or anything like that -- please advocate for yourself too. And don't stop advocating until you get the treatment or testing you need.

Because I'm going to bet your doctors won't care either. But you matter and your health is important.

Not only do I have my former stalker slandering my name, again, but my mother was just diagnosed with cancer…again. She was in remission after fighting Melanoma (Stage 3 when they found it) and now she’s been diagnosed with Cervical cancer. 😔

As if everything wasn’t already going wrong in my personal life, this has happened, too. It apparently has spread to her abdomen and leg. She moved away a few months ago, that’s another story in itself, so I have no way of getting to her if it turns for the worst. I can’t afford to fly, much less Amtrak or Greyhound.

She’s all the way on the East coast now.

Fuck cancer, man. I can’t even be there for her. I already missed out on nearly 15 years growing up without her because she left and it’s like the universe wants to take her away.

She’s nowhere near a perfect mother, but at least she’s still here, alive.

This just sucks so bad. 😢

Update: This news article is about a campaign for cervical cancer screening, called Remove The Doubt. The UK charity running the campaign was called Live Through This. Later, the charity changed its name to OUTpatients, so the campaign moved to their new site. Since then, you can visit the Remove The Doubt site here, which explains to anyone who has a cervix what they need to know about cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccines.

I hate to ask of this, but I need some help. My mother has terminal cervical cancer and we are extremely behind on medical bills. She requires pinpoint radiation treatment and scans every 3 weeks, and our insurance doesn't cover nearly close to enough of it. On top of it, they are refusing to pay for quality of life medical supplies, since they say its "not necessary," so we are forced to pay out of pocket because we refuse to allow her to be uncomfortable since her treatment takes an extremely hard toll on her. It leaves her bed ridden and in pain for a week or more after. I go into better detail on the gofundme, if you'd like to read, since i don't want to bloat this post.

I've included pictures down below of some of the bills as proof.

These bills are EVERY 3 weeks. Not just once in a while unfortunately

She has been fighting this since 2020, so the bills are terrible. I appreciate any help. Even $1 would be amazing

hey friends! have you heard? public health scotland announced that they've found no cases of cervical cancer in women who were fully vaccinated against HPV

great news for those scottish women, but it's great news for people of all genders! because all genders can be vaccinated against HPV, which causes head, neck, mouth, throat, cervical, anal, and penile cancers, and this specific vaccination prevents something like 45-100% of HPV-positive cancers

in the US, all genders are eligible for vaccination to age 45 (and you may be able to be vaccinated beyond that by a well-educated and understanding pharmacist or doctor). you can be vaccinated even if you've had HPV because the latest shot protects against 9 different strains!

most insurance in the US will pay for the vaccine (it's 3 jabs over 6 months or so) because it's preventative and preventative treatment coverage is mandated by the ACA/Obamacare

this verywell health post is a good resource if you have questions!

unfortunately i don't know much about eligibility or availability in other countries but would absolutely welcome more info from people who do!!

cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of death in young people with cervixes worldwide, but HPV also causes debilitating and fatal cancers of the mouth, throat, ass, and penis. since nearly three out of every four people will contract HPV by age 40, with this one vaccine we have the ability to basically wipe out almost all of the cancers it causes

Hi Everyone! I have some very upsetting news to share with you all. As some of you may know my mom was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Cervical cancer. Unfortunately on top of this news we found out that her type is neuroendocrine, a very rare cancer type that only affects 1.5% of Cervical cases. We have no other choice but to look into extra treatment on top of her chemo as well as treatments, tests and medications in America which we will have to pay all out of pocket. If anyone has anything to spare or even rebloggjng!! Reblogging is so crucial to help! It would be so greatly appreciated!
