Yes, unfortunately! Everyone has a chance of getting skin cancer. No is more prone to it than others though 99% of the people who do get it aren't careful in the sun and don't wear sunscreen etc. So if you want to avoid getting skin cancer wear sunscreen and a hat!

You can't get cervical cancer after your cervix is removed, but you can have residual cancer or HPV infection in the vagina. But it is not necessary or desirable to have a hysterectomy due to high-risk HPV. Simple monitorning is sufficient for most people. If treatment is needed for high-risk HPV, it's because the Pap smear or biopsy was abnormal. It takes many years for HPV infection to cause cervical cancer, and most people will control the virus without ever getting cancer.
