Hi, I’m 19yrs old. I’ve had several normal pap smears in the past. last year my GYN Dr. insisted I get the Gardasal shot. which is to prevent cervical cancer and cervical dysplasia This series of three shots and very costly (NO INSURANCE).I finished the shots in August 2008 and guess what?? Feb 2009 my pap came back abnormal with high negitive numbers for pre cancerous cells. I had a biopsy done ($500 up front-NO INSURANCE) and now I have cervical dysplasia I’m scared and I’m pissed. why get the shot if it makes you GET IT,now I’m looking at needing 1/2 my cervix removed and still NO INSURANCE..so why force the shots on young healthy girls?????? and the Dr-sucks. I got the news over the phone-too shock to ask questions.
