Second summary for article
Magazine from: Cleo.
The article's topic is "Team Up Against HPV: Never Too Early". There is a story between Atiqah and her favourite elder sister called Kak Long who suffered cervical cancer. She was there when Kak Long announced the bad news to their family which turned into flood of tears. Kak Long could not tolerate the radiotherapy very well that every dose she takes ends up to lots of vomiting and feeling very sick for days. Then, there was the abnormal discharge. The doctor had said that Kak Long was very fortunate to detect the cancer early and she had a very good chance of survival. But Atiqah wondered whether she could have got it or not, genetically. So she decided to consult Aunty Nora, a medical doctor.
Aunty Nora then explains about how she wishes more women like Atiqah that would concern about cervical cancer, the 3rd most common cancer in women in Malaysia. Aunty Nora also explained that 99% of cervical cancer cases are caused by high risk of Human Papillomavirus or HPV. All you need is to get 3 doses of HPV vaccination over a period of 6 months. Atiqah asked whether is it those shots the Ministry of Health gives to 13-year-old girls in schools, Aunty Nora said yes, but they're a bit too old now so they should get their shots at a private hospital or clinic. The doctors also advise to all sexually-active women, aged between 20-65 years should go for a regular check-ups called a Pap smear test. It involves taking some cells from your cervix. If they are growing abnormally. the doctor will put you on the necessary treatment to prevent your condition from worsening.
