Dear ladies of reddit! My aunt was just diagnosed with stage 2 uterine cancer. Please take care of yourselves and get regular check ups!

[Story ID: 4929]

OK reddit, usually I am just a lurker so here is my first post: a plea for everyone to take care of themselves.

For both men and women it is important to have regular check ups, my aunt’s cancer could have been caught earlier.

My mom has been urging me to get this vaccine for a while now. It is a HPV Vaccine which has become affordable and is covered/partially covered under many health care plans(at least in Canada).

Here is the link: http://www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/stdfact-hpv-vaccine-young-women.htm

This vaccine is recommended for younger women to help prevent the diseases that cause cervical cancer, among others.

Stay safe!
