I came extremely close to ending up like Jade. I had a normal Pap 2 years ago and didn't return to get my Pap after that because I was scared/lazy/didn't get around to it. When I finally went back, my Pap was highly abnormal and I had to have a LEEP procedure. They think they got it all, but I'll have to be tested for the rest of my life. At least they got it before it went to the next stage.
This is all because I had ONE unsafe escapade when I was 22. Girls, they CAN GET THIS STUFF if you get it diagnosed early. Cervical cancer is EXTREMELY SLOW GROWING, but once it's in you, there is pretty much no hope, as Jade so sadly learned.
DON'T BE SCARED - get your Paps! If they are abnormal, don't even be scared then, because there are LOTS of steps before it gets to cancer! Just GET YOUR PAP!
