1. One point that I learned on your page that I did not know before was: There are no real signs of cervical cancer 2. The page you created was informative or interesting because: You gave a diagram that showed where the cervix is located 3. How I can use this information in my life now or in the future is...Im aware that I should get tested for it every year. 4. I would still like to know more about...the effects of treatment if you are diagnosed with cervical cancer. Makenna S.
