OK, PROBABLY you ALL know about this but me...always the last to know...
Our Sisters in Arms (sorry, guys) who are looking at genital warts (which can turn to cervical cancer) are going to have a vaccine soon to be "marketed that will give protection against the strains of papillomaviruses responsible for most cervical cancers." (from my local paper this morning). "That's an astonding accomplishment-A VACCINE THAT PREVENTS CANCER".
WAYYYYYY COOL!!!!
Hugs,
Kathi

    This is great news. I have always believed cancer is caused by viruses. We need to prevent it. I pray this will lead to a colon cancer vaccine. This would be incredibly cool!!!! Terri
