   Uh, Wait, I have a question, and I am pretty sure it is a dumb one, but…Isn’t Cervical Cancer what you get from HPV?? And isn’t HPV and STD?? Am I wrong? Don’t get me wrong but any kind of cancer sucks, and I don’t wish it on anyone, but someone please tell me I am wrong. I guess the good thing about this is that her Oven has been red-tagged we won’t be hearing about any Eddie Jr’s in the near future…I wonder what he thinks about that!?!? SMDH I can’t believe I just typed that!

   I mean right? Because that is what Diem from the RW/RR challange had. And if I am correct that is what Gardasil helps prevent…Trying not to be a bitch about either, but I am just wondering that is all

   I will save my bitchiness for the T&T recaps!!

   Causes and risk factors for cervical cancer have been identified and include human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, having many sexual partners, smoking, taking birth control pills, and engaging in early sexual contact.

   Other risk factors: eating habits, weakened immune system, hormonal medications, douching, chemical exposure, and a rare type of cervical cancer has been diagnosed in a small number of women whose mothers took diethylstilbestrol (DES) a medicine that was once used to prevent miscarriage.

   HPV is just one small risk factor. Cancer can also be genetic. No one really knows the exact cause of cancer, it’s always under research–nature vs. nurture.

   There are over 100 different types of the HPV virus. Genital warts (or cauliflower crotch as I like to call it), is just one of the strains. The HPV that causes cervical cancer, isn’t the same one that causes genital warts.

   totally with you buggs. When you get HPV and show an abnormal pap, you have to have what’s called a “colposcopy” which is basically the doctors isolating the areas/leisons and cutting away the abormal parts that COULD lead to cervical cancer if not treated. If Tamz had actually gotten to the cervical cancer stage, I’m glad she’s ok and made it through…very SCARY. But, if she had the very, very common procedure of removing the lesions that could potentially lead to cancer, then she’s not really a survivor. Just another gal going though the shitty things girls have to go through.

   I’ve been embarrassed to go to my doctor about this, so I’m sooooo glad I found such helpful and informative folks to help me out with my coochie situation…. do you think I need one of those colpo whatzzits, with the slicing and the cutting? Maybe they could just put in some kind of drain down there, like when my little Elroy kept getting those ear infections from age 2 to 19?

   This HPV isn’t related to that horse mosquito disease is it? ‘Cause man, did I get bit up during an Easter egg hunt at my sister in-law’s. I’m itching something fierce in the most embarrassing places… if anybody knows of a good cream for that, please post it here, with application instructions, too. Thanx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   P.S. Would the herp make me pee a lot? Cause I can’t go 8 miles down the turnpike without needing a rest stop REAL BAD.

   Wow. You really have alot of problems. And I am happy to help!

   As long as you don’t put your ear down there, you should be ok. Perhaps Elroy should take my advice so he doesn’t get those pesky ear infections, too. Y’all seem to have ear problems at your house and trying to hear what your private parts are saying seems to be the reason. I say stop doing that.

   The skeeters where I live could fuck a horse flat footed but I never got a disease from it. So don’t worry.

   I know herb makes me poop. I am not sure if herp makes folks pee. You would have to ask someone else.

   Take Care, Robin

    OMG Robinez!!! I. Die. Laughing!! You crack me up! I am crying so hard! @notwithoutmytv always has good stories for us, but your comment was the icing on the cake to that!!

    Oh, I didn’t know that BCP can cause HPV. Good thing I am not on those anymore….and that I don’t smoke….or do a whole lot of other things these days either…!

    @Danielle-Yes Cancer can be genetic. Breast Cancer runs in my family on my moms side. My great aunt (grandma’s sister), my grandma, and one of my aunts all have had BC. Grandma got it in her 70′s and decided to cut them off after chemo. She told me she was to old for a tummy tuck, and couldn’t “bounce back” as quickly as she once could have, that was 14 years ago…Unfortunatly my gr.aunt had a relaps and passed, that was 10 years ago. My aunt had her reconstuctive surgery in January. She is doing great! But she wants all us younger ladies to get tested for the gene…I am not sure I want to do that!

    Yes, there are over 100 types of HPV, yet only four of them cause cancer. However, promiscuity isn’t the only way one can contract it. Perhaps, this of why doctors want to vaccinate girls as young as nine against HPV.

    As for it being an STD, the problem is that men are rarely tested for it ( HPV is not found in blood tests; requires a swab of the penis tip). therefore men can pass it along to their wives and partners, even after been giving a complete bill of health.

    Fun fact: Not only can HPV-laden penises cause cervical cancer, they have now been linked to throat cancer, as well. So while most people use condoms during intercourse, oral sex still is rubber-free.

    Guys you can pick up HPV from a toilet seat…yes it is an STD but 1 in 4 people in the US have it and it’s treatable but largely undetected. My sister contracted it and now unfortunately having a very difficult pregnancy that might result in birth defects or miscarraige but they still have hope and pray the baby makes it to term. She has no idea how she got it…you can never be too careful ladies.

    And potential triple E victims in the North East. Do yo think it’s too early for ticks and Lyme disease too?

    BTW, Gypsy and others, Lymes Disease is very serious. I know. Inspect the whole body after having been outside– especially in hotbed areas of the country. And check pets. I contracted Lymes from a deer tick my cat brought in.

    Always wear plaid (Deer ticks are repelled by plaid), and tuck your pants into your high tops if you go outside during National Lyme Disease month (which I think runs between Sept 1 and Nov 15).

    Also, protect your pancreas by drinking at least 8 ounces of extra-virgin olive oil a day. The pancreas builds stockpiles of olive oil in its cells, and the Lyme disease pathogen is intolerant of olive extract. (Really. The pathogen won’t tolerate olives, not in it’s martini, not with a mouse or in its house, not anywhere.)

    My cousin’s girlfriend lost her pancreas to Lyme disease. (Okay, she wasn’t his girlfriend. She was just some skank at whose place he was crashing. But her pancreas is totally dead, that’s the important health update part.)

    NWMTV…have you been tested for HPV? Men rarely are..and they are the biggest carriers of the disease. But unless it’s the kind that causes warts, it will most likely go undetected and infected penii will keep wreaking havoc on unsuspecting cervixes.

    Side note: I read that plantar warts are HPV, too. And that if someone had touched their warts recently, they can transfer it via a handshake.

    Get tested? Like I’d want to know if I had it…

    Tamra is a fame whore, fame skank, trailer park ho, you name it. It fits. The fact that Dr. Oz put this disgrace on his show is an abomination to him! Tamra is the type you’d sleep with if you were drunk enough. Wake up the next morning and see her without the makeup, no implants. You’d rush to the bathroom and start throwing up uncontrollably like that puppet in “Team America: World Police.”
