HELP any of your teen daughters received the shot to prevent ovarian cancer yet? pros n cons Ty?

Question

yes mandy ty thats what i mean and i just was wondering if the studies are all complete many were not ty

Answer 1

i have had the first two out of the three shots, i have not noticed any side effects or cons and it will really help in the long run. it does hurt though, the first one is like any other shot, the second one hurts a little more and apparently the third one hurts the worse.

Answer 2

it hasnt been around long enough.  In 10 years they could find out it causes another kind of cancer... i wouldnt take that chance

Answer 3

i got the shot and it hurt so bad, but it was definitely worth it.

Answer 4

I've had it. I don't think there is really any cons to it, but my arm hurt a lot and was sore for about a week. And it's actually three shots and you get one every 4ish months.

Answer 5

Too many side effects. I'm not getting it.

And do you actually believe it's going to prevent cancer?

You have to physically alter a cells DNA to remove the "cancer" gene. That's impossible! There will probably never be a cure for cancer or something being invented to prevent it.

If it was just as simple as getting a shot, we would know about it. Those shots will do nothing. Except put your daughter at risk from side effects.

My family are doctors, so they don't take my health lightly, but they think those shots are just stupid. They would never let me get it. They are not going to prevent cancer!

Answer 6

If you're talking about Guardasil, it's to prevent cervical cancer. I have had it and there are no cons. Why not do something to prevent something as deadly as cancer if you can?

In my personal experience, I haven't had any negative side effects..... I also have to go get cancerous spots removed from my intestines every 3 years for the rest of my life. This means that my body is very succeptable to cancer. To me, getting a few shots that will prevent my body from developing this cancer is worth it.

Answer 7

I've had the shot, all three of them. I suppose the con is that it hurts but it's only for a little while and the pain goes away. The pro is that it prevents ovarian cancer. All the girls in my year level had to get the shot with school.

Answer 8

i have not had it but many of my friends have. the only problems i have seen was a large swelling of the injection area and slight breakouts there.

Answer 9

I would suggest not getting the shot for your daughters until the kinks are worked out of it. I recently saw a news story that linked it to some really severe side effects.

Answer 10

I would definitely wait until the kinks are worked out. I personally have taken care of two teenage girls with transverse myelitis who both received Gardasil. The doctors said there have been an increased number of cases of transverse myelitis linked to those who have received Gardasil. Here is a link that explains what transverse myelitis is. It's very serious and it can paralyze someone from the waist down if it isn't caught in time.

Answer 11

it only protects against four strains of HPV (Types 16 and 18, linked to 70% of cervical cancer cases; and Types 6 and 11, linked to 90% of genital wart cases).  so you still can get cancer .  still not enough for me to get the shot since it is so new and not enough testing.

Answer 12

the vaccine is fake, it gives you cancer, don't ever vaccine they are bullshit expect the viral and infection but cancer vaccines are fake

Answer 13

I didn't get mine,

My mum said because I wouldn't be having s*x anytime soon, so I won't have it, and I could get it once it has been properly tested and the effects were known.

Answer 14

My personal opionin is not to get the shots.

My sister did it for her daughter when she was 14 years old and did a few shots before she reached the age of 16 years old.

From what I understand. You have a series of shots to be taken before the age of 16years.

Now her daughter is having problems with her period and heavy bleeding and I am wondering if it is because of the medication that they gave her when she was younger. Now she is 17 years with all these problems.

I searched the internet and this is what I came up with. Together, these types of ovarian cancer create the fifth most deadly form of cancer in women – an estimated 25,400 cases per year resulting in over 14,300 deaths annually according to the American Cancer Society. So what are the odds for your child to get it in the future?

Not knowing what the results may be of this medicine in future.  

Good luck with your choice.  Eileen
