If you are aged 12-18 you can have a vaccination!
I had mine yesterday! I am 12 nearly 13! I am in year 8! you can have it at any age between 12 years old (in year 8) and 18 years old!
I was petrified before having it - my friends who had it before me didn't help! they were crying and everything and they had already had it! me and my bff were crying and on the way to the room to get it a lady said that we should both go to the nurses room and waited for ages (around an hour and a half) then we got it! one of our other bffs had had it earlier and was with us the whole time we were waiting! then we went at the end and i felt a absalute twit! it didn't hurt at all! plus i got a free biscuit!
it didn't hurt at all! the only negative points about it was -
that you worry and feel horrible before it
your arm hurts if you move it after (mine is stiff today) which is why i had the day off!
Cancer is spread through the body in what are considered 4 stages. Think of the body being sectioned into 4 quadrants: the dividing line between Stage I & Stage II being a line that runs from head to abdomen; Stage II & Stage III divided by the diaphragm. Having said that, Stage V does not exist. Cervical Cancer can metastases into Stage IV, wherein remission is harder to bring about, but not necessarily unknown.
Stage IV: Cancer has spread to other parts of the body
it depends on what stage you are on
Stage IB2: Stage IB cancer is larger than 4 cm (1.6 in)
Stage IB1: Cancer is no larger than 4 cm (1.6 in)
Stage II: Cancer has spread from the cervix but is confined to the pelvic region
Stage IIB: Cancer has spread to the parametrial tissue adjacent to the cervix
Cervical cancer is cancer of the cells lining the cervix which is the passage between the uterus and the vagina. You can prevent cervical cancer by monitoring risk factors for cervical cancer. Find out more about the several risk factors that increase your chance of developing cervical cancer.

The various treatments for cervical cancer include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy depending on the type and stage of cancer that you've been diagnosed with.
Stage IIA: Cancer has spread to the upper region of the vagina, but not to the lower one-third of the vagina
I just recently had a friend who had both cervical and ovarian cancer. The strange thing was the ovarian cancer was one type of cancer in stage 2 and the cervical cancer was a totally different type of cancer in stage 1. She recovered fully from both.
