Has it been discussed Farrah's death might be prevented? |

Had she been born in the time of the Guardasil vaccine. Moms, this death might well have been prevented. Get your daughters vaccinated for HPV!
Edit: Changing the title to a more factual "might" but don't have the space to do the grammatically-correct "might HAVE BEEN." Please, forgive me.

Indeed, it is C! In most cases.

I think people should do their own research on the shot before getting their daughters to get it though. I understand, but it's just so new and i'm
still iffy about it.

From Wikipedia:
"An examination of squamous cell carcinoma tumor tissues from patients in Denmark and Sweden showed a high proportion of anal cancers to be positive for the types of HPV that are also associated with high risk of cervical cancer (90% of the tumors from women, 100% of the tumors from homosexual men, and 58% of tumors from heterosexual men).[2] In another study done, high-risk types of HPV, notably HPV-16, were detected in 84 percent of anal cancer specimens examined.[3]" It's been mentioned but not exploited in Farrah's case. They also discussed her tumor and whether it was coming from the vaginal side or vice versa in the documentary. For men HSWM, there is a pap-like test that can be given. Nothing of the sort exists for women at this time. |

WOW, smurf, I did not know that. I have to admit that I haven't been keeping up with cancer research as much as I should. With my mom being treated for
breast and bone cancer it has been very hard for me to look further into it.
Though, with my Team in Training I am learning more and more. |

Do your research... nothing wrong with that.
I did my research and tried to get my doc to give it to me, but unfortunately the DNA-specific test she gave me came back positive, so I can't get it now. (This was at the age of 34.) |

Other reasons aside, I wouldn't give my child such a new vaccine or drug.

I'm going with my friend Erin and her wife Kerri- Erin was the schoolteacher married by Gavin who was surprised at her City Hall wedding by one of the
parents of her first grade class who brought all the kids to the wedding, so she ended up on all the Yes on 8 literature as a "doomsday example."
It's going to be an awesome experience.
I hope all y'all doing your research did all your research on things like juice with DHEA, milk with growth hormones, flourinated water, etc. There is much to research! |

I hadn't heard about issues from the vaccine. I did a bunch of research two years ago and begged my doc for it. She said she'd do it only with a
negative DNA test.
We have two Google searches linking Guardisil to deaths and two linking water flourination to autism. Sounds like a fair comparison. |

My mom wanted me to get the shot. I had no qualms about getting it and look at me, still kicking around.
