Let's pledge our support for "Power Over Cervical Cancer 2010" - Prevent and Protect

My post today is to raise awareness to everyone about Cervical Cancer. For the ladies, we need to take precautions and prevention as Cervical Cancer is one of the most common cancer affecting Singapore women and the scary part is that it has no signs or symptoms at all in the early stage. For the guys, please let the women around you know about the seriousness of this cancer. 

To take the first step, we can all pledge our support for Power Over Cervical Cancer.

Some facts on Cervical Cancer

* It is a disease which cells in the cervix grows abnormally

* It is one of the most common cancer among women in Singapore

* It has no signs or symptoms at early stage

* Before the disease reaches the later stage, a Pap smear is able to detect the pre-cancerous cells at early stage

* Lifestyle habits like smoking increase the possibility by 10 times more of contracting this  

* Cervical cancer can be treated if detected early

Before I read about this website, I didn't know much about this cancer, but now it prompted me to encourage women around me to go for regular pap smear screening and vaccination. There's also an online risk assesment test but we shouldn't rely on the result to seek prevention. We all can do our part by sharing this website to friends and family.
