If current trends continue, by the time my 9-year-old daughter is 48, the median age when cervical cancer is diagnosed, there will be only a few thousand cases of the cancer in women, and about 1,000 deaths or fewer each year, even without the vaccine.>/i>

my doctor was telling me just last week about how much HPV has evolved and how 10 years ago she used to see lots of women in their thirties getting it and now it's women in their mid-twenties. i wish there was a vaccine available years ago! i would have been up for getting it, but then again, no one really talks about HPV (i don't remember being told how common it is when i was in high school health classes or even in college).
