Thanks fsb,
for your clear addition. I believe the reason why people get scared when they hear of cancer is because most times Doctors use too much grammer. We need to Use lear and understandable language, i8t reduces the staus of the disease.
Thank you once again

thanks aisha
in your report, you said VIA was cost effective, how much are we looking at here?

Thanks to aisha & fsb.Very educative info.!

Doctor B,
I cant give a figure, my organisation is working in collaboration with JHIPEGO to see how affordable we can make it.
However all i can say now is that VIA can be done by any trained volunteer not necessarily a Pathologist. In Ghana, JHIPEGO in collaboration with other NGOs train and use over 5000 volunteers for VIA testing.

i think prevention is better and cheaper than cure

I agree with you but unfortunately that will mean all women will stop having sex and giving birth. Except we have the vaccines

Cancer is a very deadly disease which every one should be careful on how he or she handles his life. What you eat and drink and how you take those things matters a lot. Check well on how you expose your skin to dangerous rays and body creams. Ladies should always pay attention on their breast as often as possible.

Pass the information to others.

Cheers, ONE NIGERIA FOR EVER!

The best way to Prevent cancer is by inculcating and maintaing healthy Lifestyles. Eating right, exercising right and reducing exposure to risk factors. However the key is regular screening. Most Cancers when detected early are treatable. The case of cervical cancer, early detection almost guarantees 100% cure. Women, we know our bodies, any abnormality in the genitals and breast should not be wished away, sudden and unexplianed weight gain and increase in the size of our stomachs should be checked.

As far as I know, even in the UK the vaccine has only just been made available and it is currently only given to young girls (cant remember reason for this). Also the vaccine does not prevent all strains of the virus hence the most effective way would be to embrace regular pap smears to detect early changes in the cervix.Most cervical cancer deaths could have been prevented with early detection.

I was quite scared going for the first one but there is nothing as good as knowing the state of your health, ignorance or fear of the unknown is not a good excuse to avoid a preventable disaster.

I would encourage the government or local charities to offer this screening for free and provide more education to the women.Most women in the UK did not take it serious until they watched Jade Goody die at her prime.
