Cuterus’ Race Journal, Week 3

Okay, journal… I learned something BIG this week. 👀

Every dollar we raise for the Race to End Women’s Cancer helps support gynecologic cancer research, education and awareness.

So those $5, $25 and $50 donations? They add up! ✨

Suddenly all these steps I’ve been putting in feel even more important.
Plus, you don’t have to race exactly like me. You can join us in D.C., virtually or bring your little racers along for the Kids Fun Run!

Every dollar. Every step. Every one of us can make a difference.

And next week, I’m sharing something a little more personal…

What am I racing for?
See you in my next journal entry!

When it comes to HPV, there are still a lot of misconceptions. Let's talk about the facts.✅

HPV affects people of all genders and is the most common sexually transmitted infection.
In the United States, HPV causes nearly 39,300 cancers each year. While cervical cancer is a common HPV-associated cancer in women, HPV-related throat cancer is the most common HPV-associated cancer in men.

As National Immunization Awareness Month comes to a close, it's an important reminder that HPV vaccination can help prevent several HPV-related cancers before they start.

Talk to your healthcare provider about HPV vaccination and help protect yourself and your loved ones.

💜 Know the signs.

Some reminders are worth sending. 💜

A Pap test can help find cervical cell changes early, before they have the chance to become cancer.

August is National Immunization Awareness Month 💜

Vaccines are one of the most powerful tools we have to protect ourselves, our families, and our communities. Staying up to date on recommended vaccines can help prevent serious illnesses and certain cancers.

Did you know? The HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine helps protect against the types of HPV that cause most cervical cancers, as well as many vaginal and vulvar cancers. The vaccine works best when given before exposure to the virus, but many teens and young adults may still be eligible to receive it.

Not sure which vaccines are right for you? Talk with your healthcare provider about your age, health history, and vaccination status. Taking a few minutes to review your immunizations today can have a lasting impact on your health tomorrow.

✨ Small steps make a big impact.

Did you know? 💜

Many people think a Pap test screens for all gynecologic cancers, but that's a common misconception.

Pap tests are an important tool for detecting cervical cancer and precancerous changes, but they do not screen for ovarian, uterine (endometrial), vaginal, or vulvar cancers.

That's why it's important to stay informed, keep up with routine preventive care, and talk with your healthcare provider if you notice any unusual symptoms or changes in your body.

Knowledge is one of the most powerful tools we have for protecting our health. Save this post for future reference and share it to help spread the facts.
