Haha yeah Abigail I said exactly that to my friend earlier, she said she's not having it done because she hates needles and the fact there's still a 30% chance of getting Cervical Cancer, but I said to her about the fact that yeah ok, there sa 30% chance... but that's a hell of alot better than having a 70% chance of getting it.. then having to have 10 times more needles and prodding than you'd ahve to have if you just had the injection... which is why i'm getting it lol.
I didn't read it as nasty anyways btw, it's very good advice :p
i wouldnt have thought it would have hurt much more than other jabs which youve already had (dunno though seeing as i havent had it). i think though you should probably get it done if youre given the option even if you dont like needles. is it just one jab or do you have to have a second one as well?
You have to have 3
oh right. now youve said that i think i remember reading that you had to have 3Quote:

I have to wait until Monday to make the actual appointment now because the Doctors are closed this weekend and it completely slipped my mind yesterday. grr, I hope they're not all booked, if they are it says on the letter I can arrange an alternative appointment, so either way I'm getting it done :)
The only thing I am worried about is that if I ahve this jab on Monday... I have the dentist booked for Wednesday and if the dentist needs to doa filling, would having the jab affect what they could do?
oh right, well its good youre able to get it done. erm i wouldnt think it would effect the dentist but im not sure, maybe when you phone up to make the appointment you could ask them?Quote:

I want to know who else thought their second one felt a bit werid???
How long did your arm hurt after the first time? Hope you are not suffering for long :)
No its ok, it was only a couple of days
Just heard Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy as she had a high risk of getting breast cancer, well done on her for coming forward and admitting it, must be a hard choice but it could prolong her life
She got it done as her mother died from cervical cancer (which is the next step for Angelina). She said breast was the hardest operation so she did that first. She had an 85% risk so fair play to her for taken these steps so she can prolong her life to stay with her familyQuote:

I am so sorry Tammy, cancer is one of the cruellest illnesses we get. You really need to speak to an oncologist about treatment, all depends on the severity of the cancer and his underlying conditions diabetes and epilepsy. Only medical experts can advise you of what to do is best. Thinking of you and sending love, light, healing xxxxQuote:
