Debbie Halvorson didn’t have cervical cancer, only precancerous cells
Halvorson (D-Crete) learned that her annual Pap smear showed abnormal cells. Follow-up tests revealed precancerous cells on her cervix. She had never even heard of the human papilloma virus (HPV), which causes cervical cancer. Knowing her mother, Joyce De Francesco, now 68, had breast cancer at 49, Halvorson says she had “a panic response.”
“I was pretty scared. If I had let this go, I would have had cervical cancer,” she recalls. She told her doctors: “Just get rid of everything. I want to be done with this.”
Halvorson had a complete hysterectomy. She was 44.
So clearly there is less of a need to be a decent human being regarding her
A friend of mine recently had a complete hysterectomy but this couldn’t help her to overcome cervical cancer unfortunately.I hope there would be women who would have more luck in this terrible battle.
