The cervix is part of a woman's reproductive system. It's in the pelvis. The cervix is the lower, narrow part of the uterus (womb).
What is Cervical Cancer?
Cervical cancer is a disease that affects the cervix in the female reproductive system. It is one of the most common cancers affecting Singapore women. The symptoms may be absent until the cancer is in its advanced stages.
How to prevent?
I have checked with Drs Thompson. I need to take 3 jabs to complete the vaccination and it costs $150 per jab. First jab on the first month, second jab on the second month and third jab on the fourth month. That would be $450 in all. Sounds expensive but it is said to last for 10 years. I think it's worth the investment and I've decided to go for the vaccination next month.
Their website is totally cool and tech savy with many multi media functions. It has lots of information on cervical cancer, allows you to do a self-evaluation and shares real stories and experiences of other women. They are on facebook as well. Check it out and be a fan.
A very kind cotter mailed me a voucher from Healthway. It's $299 for 3 jabs.
Ubber happy. I'm going to get my first jab on 11 July 2010. I saved a total of $150. Thanks irene :)
