A while ago, I blogged how people should express their disgust on the Government’s yellow-bellied backdown on the cervical cancer vaccine scheme for girls.

In the meantime, search engines have brought people here on searches like “I think I have cervical cancer”, “symptoms of cervical cancer” and “how long will I live with cervical cancer”. While the web is a great place to research everything from osmosis to goldfish, you need the expertise of a real professional. You need dedicated facetime with them.

I know that you are genuinely scared and that sometimes reading stuff off the web might  seem to help allay those fears. But some of the information out there is flawed, half-assed or written with hidden special interests. Some of it will make you feel even more paranoid without even having been diagnosed.

If you notice something has changed in your general wellbeing, please consult your doctor and get yourself checked out. Every minute you spend without proper diagnosis, adds more risk. Please see a doctor.
