alot of cancer seems to be random and alot seems to be hereditary so much that the word truly means in the family.
so be concerned. right now the national cancer institue says you will get cancer being a woman about 40% of the time normally, and men 45%. Do what u can now to beat it.www.emfscience.net aske me questions more there if you want.

Cervical cancer is caused from a sexually transmitted disease called HPV. I’m not trying to say anything bad about your mother. I had it too. MANY, MANY, women have it. I read a statistic once that 80% of women will have HPV by the age of 50. If you catch it quick it can be easily taken care of. I didn’t have a pap for 14 yrs. so mine was bad and required a hysterectomy. Women GET YOUR PAP SMEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And hun I am awful sorry about your mom.

It’s sad to hear that your mother died so young from cervical cancer. It’s natural to worry that the disease might affect someone else in your family. It’s true that daughters and sisters of cervical cancer patients are at higher risk. But it does not mean that they are destined to get the disease. It does mean that those daughters and sisters should be more active in taking care of their health, including the following key things:
–Prevent getting HPV (human papiloma virus) infection, which is thought to cause cervical cancer. Many women are infected with this virus, which usually causes no symptoms. The good news is there’s new vaccine for this virus, given to teen girls. You can read more about it on the Center for Disease Control’s web site at
–Get a regular PAP smear. All women over 18 (or those who are sexually active before) should get regular PAP smears, which often identifies abnormal cell changes that can be treated before cervical cancer develops.
–Go to doctor if you have any abnormal bleeding aside from regular periods or discharge.
