very positive news! thanks for posting this, colette!!!
Merck revised its Gardasil informational sheet a year ago to include protection against all vulvar, VIN, and vaginal, VAIN, dysplasias as well as cervical but most people are unfortunately unaware of this.
you ladies are truly amazing at keeping people informed.
Please can someone advise me after a LLETZ procedure what is the followup programme they have been offered? I.e smear at 6months vs colposcopy at 6months? The BSCCP.org.uk does not include a colposcopy and so many uk based hospital don't do followup colposcopies on women with CIN 3.
We all know the UK choic of vaccine was cervarix as it is the least expensive of the two.
Thankyou
Maria
