I know all about this, because I am a Cervical Cancer survivor.
Treatment for me, ended up with a hysterectomy in 1989. I can also
tell you that I had good health care, and screenings, for the 20 years
prior to my surgery.

I honestly do not know if HPV was the culprit that caused the cancer.
But if it was, I would certainly have welcomed a vaccine to prevent
it.

My mother died from Cervical-Uterine Cancer.

I take all of this very personally!. . .I do not want my daughters and
grand-daughters to experience what I, and my mother, have gone
through.
