Cervical Cancer- The Tia Edwards Story

There are entirely too many women dying needlessly each year in the United States. Worldwide, cervical cancer is the second-most-common type of cancer that strikes women - behind only breast cancer. In the United States, cervical cancer is the 14th most common cause of new cancers diagnosed among women every year. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2007, about 11,150 women in the United States developed cervical cancer and about 3,700 died from it. That lower occurrence of cervical cancer in the United States is largely thanks to the Pap test, which has helped decrease the number of American women with cervical cancer by about 75 percent in the past 50 years. Are there specific risk factors associated? How long does it take for cervical cancer to develop? What are the symptoms? How is cervical cancer diagnosed? How is it treated? What is the chance of recovery? Can cervical cancer be prevented? Mother Ruth and Best Friend Priscilla Stand Together (Tia's Way) To Educate & Motivate The organization's, (Tia's Way) mission is to educate young women and ensure them, their families and friend that Tia's Way is a place they can come to get information about cervical cancer awareness and prevention. Knowledge is power! We will go directly to the people to spread our message. We will hand out flyers to those who do not have internet access and go to boys and girls clubs in low income neighborhoods to make sure no women is left behind. We'll do this Tia's Way. Tia's cancer journey maybe over but what she wanted for everyone is early detection so you may live.
