My mom died from cervical cancer, do you think I worry to much?!
Question:
My mom died from cervical cancer, do you think I worry to much?
my mom died when I was 10. Since her death I have always been well...."scared" and think too much if I could get it. My mom's death took me a lot of pressure to "move on". I know my mom would not want me to worry about these things and all, but I'm scared. I really am, what should I do to stop thinking about this "if I get cancer like my mom"? I have tried to stop thinking, but I just can't.
I have suffer a lot of depression, after her death I have been also encounter family issues.
God my head is spining please help :(

When I think too much of my mom I cry :(
I'm very sensative. I have witness a lot of my mother getting weaker. I remember she couldn't walk, then can't eat, then finally couldn't speak and had a hard time breathing. My family is filipino, aand she died in the Philippines. I have been living in the US almost of my life. You see I was even too young to understand what dying of sickness was about. I guess what really gets me so emotional about her death was because probably I felt like I wasn't there for her too much while she was dying and I was so mindless that I never would believe that she might not die. I don't remember much of my mom but every time that hits me now, its like "I cry about a woman who I barely remember". Do you think its not about if we remember a person but once when they were alive they took a great importance to your life?
Answers:
I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom and the struggles you've been through. I too had an Aunt that died from Cervical Cancer. I went to my Gyno really scared I might get it too and she told me chances were slim to none. She told me cervical cancer was caused by a sexually transmitted disease called HPV. She said anyone can get it who is sexually active and the infection has no symptoms. She recommended me get screened for the HPV Virus then then immunized for it. I'll recommend the same to you. It's really put me at ease! All those commercials for the HPV vaccine has been going on all TV. Look into it. Most insurance companies cover it 100%. After you get screened you'll know for sure if you have HPV or not and if not you can immunise yourself and then you'll be immune.
