If you have a strong family history of ovarian or breast cancer, you may wish to talk to a genetic counselor. The counselor may suggest genetic testing for you and the women in your family. Genetic tests can sometimes show the presence of specific gene changes that increase the risk of ovarian cancer.

If so, I know that many fundies won’t vaccinate their children because they feel it’ll lead to promiscuity.

How clueless can they be? HPV is implicated in cervical cancers. So they’re essentially sentencing their daughters to death for the sake of sexual purity.

They ought to be brought up on charges.
