The first image has a ribbon and says "January is Cervical Cancer Awareness month."

The second image is an infographic featuring a timeline of a person's life. It's titled "How to keep your cervix cancer-free."

Age 11 to 12: HPV vaccine: 3 shots over 6 months. Recommended at age 11 to 12, but approved for 9 to 26. Most effective before sexual activity begins.

(Update added by the transcriber: This is an important addition for folks who never got the HPV vaccine because they weren't in the right age group. According to its manufacturer, the HPV vaccine is now for people of all sexes and genders from age 9 to 45. The CDC still recommends it only for age 9 to 26. They explain that's only because people older than that have supposedly been so sexually active that they've exposed themselves to several strains of HPV already. That assumption isn't true of everyone, so the CDC says people over 26 can ask their doctors for the vaccine anyway.)

Age 21 to 29: Get your first Pap test at 21 and get one every 3 years.

Age 30 to 64: Get a Pap test every 3 years, or simultaneous Pap and HPV tests every 5 years.

If you're sexually active: Use condoms to reduce your risk of HPV.

Visit PlannedParenthood.org for more information about cervical cancer prevention and to find a local health center that provides Pap tests and HPV vaccines.

At the bottom of the image is the logo for Planned Parenthood, with its motto, "Care. No matter what."

Early detection is the best prevention--the importance of cervical screenings

BeRana Divine wears a pair of teal and white ribbon-shaped earrings that are engraved with the word "Surviving."

“It's an acceptance,” Divine said. “It was a shock at first, then it went from shock to being flat, to a little anger, but now I'm at, 'Let's just get this over with.'”

Divine’s roller coaster of emotions began a little over a month ago when she received a call from her longtime gynecologist. He told her she had cancer.

“I just froze, and was like, 'Are you freaking kidding me?'” Divine said. “But ultimately, you have to find a way to accept what you can't change, because that is the key to your healing.”

Now the teal and white of her earrings represent cervical cancer awareness.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cervical cancer used to be the leading cause of cancer deaths for women in the United States. Regular screenings, or Pap smears, have resulted in a significant decline in cases and deaths over the past 40 years. This is because the human papillomavirus, or HPV, which is directly linked to cervical cancer, can be detected during regular screenings.

But there’s been a recent sharp decline in screenings, particularly among African American women, which the CDC attributes to the COVID-19 pandemic. Divine said being a full-time caregiver for her daughter, who has a rare form of epilepsy, along with the restrictions of the pandemic, caused her to miss her regular screenings.

“It just got pushed back more than it should have,” Divine said.

Dr. Maryann Wilbur, a physician at UR Medicine's department of obstetrics and gynecology, said prioritizing screenings is usually a struggle for marginalized women who often have greater familial and financial responsibilities.

“Getting a Pap smear is not necessarily as big a priority as getting rent paid, getting the kids to school, and getting the kids fed,” Wilbur said.

She said cervical cancer is more commonly found -- and more often caught in a later stage -- in women of color and those of lower socioeconomic status. Wilbur said this particular cancer progresses slowly and can be caught before it becomes a clinical problem, but women must first prioritize their wellness screenings.

“Those missed screenings actually are missed opportunities,” Wilbur said. “If we get these women back in, we could overcome some of the losses.”

Dr. David Adler, an emergency physician at Strong Memorial Hospital, is seeking to make that happen by leading a clinical trial designed to market screenings to women who aren’t getting them. He said women with no health insurance, women of color, immigrants and those who use the emergency department as their usual source of care are his target audience.

“We care disproportionately for people who experienced barriers to care for a multitude of different reasons,” Adler said. “So this presents us with an opportunity to try to overcome some of those barriers.”

Adler said the trial involves sending a direct text message with a link to schedule a screening. He said the text's language is rooted in the behavioral theories of planned behavior and self-determination.

"The text says something to the effect of, 'Nationally, 80% of women get regular cervical cancer screenings, you can too at your own convenience by contacting (blank),' and the contact links are provided," he said.

Adler said if a person gets the sense that Pap smear screenings are normal, they’re more likely to schedule an appointment.

The pilot study generated a 20% increase in cervical screenings, which resulted in Adler and his team receiving a $1.5 million grant from the National Cancer Institute to conduct the trial on a larger scale.

If a woman's screening results appear normal and no HPV is detected, her doctor may recommend visits every 3 to 5 years.

As for Divine, her doctors are recommending a hysterectomy. She said she has learned one important thing through all of this.

“When this is all said and done, I am going to put more time into myself,” Divine said

Okay so I have this attitude about Movember. Like this is an entire month dedicated to men's health (in particular mental health, but it also can include prostate cancer). In this month they discuss the high suicide rates of men (nevermind women are more likely to have suicidal ideation and attempt suicide). Almost every single day at at my school men were encouraged to talk to each other and seek help if they need support. There is no equivalent for woman, despite the fact that woman are more likely to have mental health jssues.

Then there is also prostate canver. We talk about breast cancer and there is Pink Ribbon Day, but what about cervical cancer? I barely know anything about it because no one talks about it. I know I am meant to get a pap smear at 21+, but how many woman actually know this?

I think it is really telling about how much men and society cares about women. Where is our mental health awareness month? Where is our month where we discuss women's health issues from cancer to UTIs to the heath issues with pregnancy? We deserve better than this.

men pretending women with mental illness are taken seriously while men aren't have the biggest mra victims complexes I have ever seen in my life

How I Got My Purple Ribbon

As contrary to the popular belief, I, a cancer patient, would love to listen and answer all your questions about cancer. One popular belief on the other hand is that when the topic cancer pops up, everyone will think of a terminal illness where people go bald and everyone is given a number of days left to live. So naturally, conversations usually get awkward and they just end up tip-toeing around the subject or end up not knowing what to say at all. Science and technology is constantly evolving and cancer is being researched more than ever it was before so let’s start to get rid of that belief now. 

I understand that some cancer patients hesitate to share their story to the public because they do not want to be pitied upon or to be remembered as someone with cancer. No one wants to become their disease and will strive to live as normally as possible. But if cancer recognition becomes lesser and lesser, all types of cancer will be generalized into something terrible or life-ending and that all cancer patients are helpless. I have witnessed the complete opposite of this. Yes, cancer is not the best thing and it ruins your body, but not everyone with cancer is helpless. This is my own way of documenting my journey and raising awareness on Hogkin's lymphoma which is symbolized by a purple ribbon that I now proudly wear.

What is Lymphoma?

Lymphoma is a mutation of cells called lymphocytes. These lymphocytes usually accumulate in your lymph nodes located in your neck, armpit, and groin which enlarges. A lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell which defends your body from invading bacteria and viruses. There are two types of lymphoma: Hodgkin’s and Non-Hodgkin’s. Then there are numerous sub-types for each. A doctor once called it the best among the worst since it has a good prognosis, high cure rates, and good response to chemotherapy.

Long and Winding Road to Lymphoma

February this year, I had complaints of chest pain right in the middle of my chest. It usually just comes and goes so I had it checked a month later. X-ray results were normal so the doctor said it’s costochondritis meaning the cartilages in my ribs were inflammed. I also had frequent back pains but I just shrugged it off and related it to bad posture. After finishing a round of medication prescribed for costocondritis, the chest pain still persisted.

A month later I was convinced that it might not be an inflammation but rather heart burn or acid reflux problem. I was a medical student at that time so I had medical background on how to work myself up. I consulted a gastroenterologist in hopes of getting an endoscopy but then he said it’s most likely my gallbladder that has a problem. But surprise surprise, my HBT ultrasound came out normal. He gave me PPIs which were medication for acid reflux. The chest pain was managed but once the round of medication ended, pain still came back.

I was supposed to go back to my doctor for another consult but then quarantine happened due to the pandemic. By April, I noticed a lump above my left collarbone. I didn’t give so much thought about it because it could be just an infection since I had a cough that time. My chest pain already radiated to my right arm which was really painful to the point that it disturbed my sleep. I observed my lump for a while but then it was still present after a month and my symptoms didn’t get better. I was convinced that I really need to go to a doctor. 

The hospital had very strict COVID protocols in place for walk-in patients. I could not go to the doctors’ clinic because I had a cough which could be a symptom for COVID so I had to go to the ER for my check up. I was diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD) and cervical lymphadenitis. I needed an endoscopy because just like my suspicion, there might be a bacterial infection in my stomach causing my lymph nodes to enlarge. An endoscopy is a procedure that emits aerosols since they have to open my mouth so I had to take a COVID swab test and chest CT scan to make sure I was negative for COVID. 

So this was when things got an unexpected turn. My endoscopy was clear for any bacteria or infection and I only had slight gastritis and GERD. My CT scan showed I had a 6 cm mass in my anterior mediastinum which meant I needed to get a biopsy because it means I may have thymoma or lymphoma. I had a few spiraling moments of fear and anxiety at this point. They biopsied my mass above my collarbone but it only showed inflammation and necrotic tissues. A pulmonologist diagnosed me with tuberculosis (TB). I took a week of TB medication but I knew there was still something off. I consulted another pulmonologist for a second opinion and he said it was lymphoma. I took the initiative to search and go to a hematologist-oncologist who gave me steroids which relieved almost all of my symptoms! With me responding to the medication meant that I have more chances of having lymphoma. To be completely sure, I underwent surgery again to remove a sample of my mass in my chest and get it biopsied. And behold, the biopsy showed that I have Hodgkin’s lymphoma stage 2 - bulky. 

After 5 months, 6 doctors, 3 misdiagnoses, and 2 surgeries, I finally have a definite diagnosis. It may have been the worst diagnosis of everything that could have possibly been wrong with me, but at least I get to start being actually treated. I’m still lucky enough to have caught it at an early stage, to have sufficient medical background to work myself up, and to have a supportive family who was beside me despite these tough and trying times. I am still so blessed at the end of the day.

Please listen to your body and get yourself checked by your physician immediately. I know it’s difficult to go to a hospital during a pandemic but health is always a priority. I can’t imagine waiting until quarantine ends before I got myself checked. Who knows how far my cancer has spread by that time. Keep yourself healthy and stay safe.
