[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 118262, member: 805"] FOP, I absolutely respect your right to make the decision that is right for your daughter. It is the same reasoning I used for the chicken pox vaccine (and then a month after I told the doctor I wasn't sure and wanted to think about it for awhile, easy child came down with them and difficult child, at 6 months, followed a week later!). The decision was mute at that point!!! I feel the need to say that the virus that causes this type of cervical cancer is not screened by your annual pap (and it can take years after exposure to the virus before cervial cancer materializes). It is another test altogether which has not, as of yet, been approved (to be included with a woman's annual) by (the majority) insurance companies because it is really expensive. Insurance companies historically are slow to approve and respond to tests that can detect and prevent woman's health issues. It took years and years to get them to approve yearly paps. It took a huge effort and millions of dollars to approve annual mammagrams for woman over 40. Things are getting better, but education and funding for woman's health issues still lags behind those of men. Ok, that's my soapbox molment for the day! Sharon [/QUOTE]
