HPV is running rampant. Basically anyone who has been sexually active has had it. I know lots of women in the same situation as her. 

 

Vaccinate your teens, people. 

The reason is because getting HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) happens to almost every single sexually active woman. The issue is not truly whether you get it or not but whether it progresses to a carcinoma.

For females getting regular pap-smears every 3 years is recommended, however some OBGYN's still believe in yearly screening- which I tend to agree with.  

Vaccination, as Jermey, says is the only true way to prevent cancer. Females and Males should get the vaccine.

isnt it pretty low risk and very rarely to women die from it in western societies?

I personally have known 2 women who have died from cervical cancer which had metastasized. One was in her early 30's, the other early 40's.

Yep. Many in the medical community think that HPV is linked to the growing occurrence of mouth and throat cancers in men who don't have the typical risk factors - smoking and/or heavy drinking.

I just had my tonsils yanked about 9 months ago because one of them just blew up. The doctors weren't really concerned about cancer in my case due to lack of risk factors (smoking, heavy drinking, age) but they basically told me that the only way to know for certain was to yank them and biopsy them, plus there had to be something going on to cause it. Turned out to just be a localized infection.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, if Moore really wants out, then it would behoove the Bears to make it happen sooner than later. X is a lot younger and cheaper, and may be a better fit for Johnson's musings than a disgruntled, unnecessary, overpaid vet. If they can dump his salary and maybe get a fourth or so in return, it may be worth it to them. As for development, I'm not concerned. You're talking about a seeming bust, a day three guy and a UDFA. They are developing relative to their ceilings. I doubt any of them will ever command the coverage, money, or the respect that Moore has acquired. He's a tier above them. Yes, even X.

      OK, now it's time to discuss a couple of yesterday's problems. Let's talk "Evero."

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      IMO, if Ceedee plays against us, the game probably goes the other way. Same with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins. Our team just isn't designed to beat teams with two high level receivers like that. But when you look at the league, how many teams really have two guys of that caliber?  There's nothing wrong with defensive adjustments, but sometimes I think a lot of fans want Evero to call a different play like a game on madden, and defensive football just isn't like that. That said, I thought we did a much better job this season against the Cowboys of flipping Jaycee and at least making them work for it, opposed to last season when they literally just lined CeeDee up on the other side of the field every single snap.  For us to just straight up switch to consistent man coverage, or a different zone, or whatever, we likely would consistently need different personnel on the field. Doing it a few times a game is a gamble and can work, but if we consistently run man coverage against the Cowboys, eventually a RB is going to beat a linebacker, or something of that nature with our personnel. Part of the reason Evero likes this scheme is that, while we have our defaults and presets, what we do is very multiple, and you can do a lot of different things pre and post snap. We are a challenging defense to read. But as you said, if guys are getting beat, it doesn't really matter what you call.
