It is a very treatable cancer but if you don't go for your yearly check up as a women, bad things could happen and that cancer can spread rapidly. The govt and parents need to really educate our children on this disease as it effects a lot more women than herpes and HIV.

While I agree with your post, what does it have to do with Calgary being called an "ecological disaster"
