U.S. Approves Use of Vaccine for Cervical Cancer!! For all of us women, this is the best news. Unfortunately we didn't have it years ago. My mother died of this horrible disease. It is the easiest cancer to treat if caught on time. If it isn't, it is the hardest to cure. Now knowing that it could have been prevented by a vaccine leaves me speechless. 13 years have passed since momma passed, but I guarantee she is smiling down knowing that the chances of my sister & I getting this have tremendously decreased.
