What is Gardasil?
Gardasil is a type of vaccine and it is the only vaccine that may help guard against diseases that are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) Types 6, 11, 16, and 18. HPV Types 16 and 18 cause 70% of cervical cancer cases and HPV Types 6 and 11 cause 90% of genitals warts cases. It is suitable for girls and young women ages 9 to 26 years old.
The vaccination program contains 3 injections of Gardasil over the period of 6 months. It would be better for you to have the injection in early age and before you have active sexual activity.
Check out more about Gardasil in its official website or consult your doctor or pay a visit to the National Cancer Society of Malaysia. I had mine from the National Cancer Society of Malaysia and the nurse told me that the current price for a dose is 400RM, which is the cheapest in Malaysia for the moment, you can expect 500RM per dosage in clinic.
Besides Cervical Cancer, the second most common cancer for women in Malaysia and also the world, please beware of other cancer especially breast cancer, the number one killer to women.
Men, don't be too happy because you are prone to breast cancer too and other different type of cancers such as penile cancer, esophagus, lung, stomach, liver and other parts of your body.
Smokers, beware that you are in very risky position because smoking increase the risk of cancer by fourfold, so stop using tobacco.
Here are the 7 steps of cancer prevention from CNN library:
1. Don't use tobacco
2. Eat variety of healthy foods
3. Stay active and maintain a healthy weight
4. Protect yourself from the sun
5. Get immunized

Eat more white cabbage, broccoli, beans, carrots, cooked tomatoes and others and drink tea, especially green tea. In 1994, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking green tea reduced the risk of esophagus cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent.
I guess that's all for today, it is my pleasure to share this with you and I am very happy because I have had did something good, a good accomplishment *smile*.
Just showing some cares and loves to this cold world and remember that prevention is always better than cure! Start loving yourself! *huggies*
