I had surgery (hysterectomy) at age 32, following a positive smear test.
At the time, the surgeon said that if it had not been found, I would probably not lived much past 40. So every year since I have treated as a bonus.
It has not been tragic for me because I didn't want any more children.
This vaccine will prevent early deaths and a lot of suffering.
Parents should not prevent their daughters from having it.
