Tam-Pap - Protecting yourself from Cervical Cancer from Home.

Hi Mony,

I also have used Tam-Pap. What a FANTASTIC NEW PRODUCT!

I heard about it from my girlfirend who was discussing it a dinner party.

I spoke with my doctor beforehand. He said that HPV is the cause of cervical cancer, and this test is accurate in determining whether you have contracted HPV, which is what causes the cells in the cervix to change to abnormal, ie change to become cancerous.

My doctor suggested that it should be used as the primary test. If the test comes back NEGATIVE then you do not need to test again for at least another year, and there is no need for a pap smear. Horay!

My test was negative.

My doctor advised me that i did not need to do another HPV test for 2 years and there was no need for a pap smear! horay!!

I recommend that ALL WOMEN SHOULD USE TAM-PAP.

love

I am an Australian citizen and I did a Tam-Pap a couple of months ago. The whole process is really hassle-free!

It's great to know that this cancer can be easily prevented thanks to early detection!

Thanks Monyq!

i get the thin prep done every 2 years. I too was very shy to show my bits and pieces to ppl as i was raped by 2 of my boyfriends (@14 and again @17) so having Alex was a huge deal for me and i worked myself up into a panic. not good at all.

Personally i dont agree with this as i feel it is needed to be done by a doc/gyno, but that is my opinion.

Great article btw Mony. very informative

Luv liz

what a great idea. thanks for letting us know about it

Thanks for the great information Money. When i became pregnnat i did a swab test to see if there was anything cancerous present and there wasnt..Im glad you have posted up this information on the at home kit cos im one of those people who are shy to show my privates lol..I dont think the price is a big deal, especially when it could save your life.

Thanks for sharing, Dannii xxo

Wow that is a really good idea! I have a pap smear reguarly because to me 5 minutes of being uncomfortable is better than getting cancer!

My mum hasn't had one in over 22 years because she had one bad time where it hurt a lot and doesn't trust to go back :(

Thanks for sharing this Mony! There are things that i know and things that i dont and this is one of those occasions that i dont. Thanks for letting us all knowand sharing it with us.

Hugs Tee

Thanks Mony

Family orientated article so its  A OK. Three months before we conceived Codi, I had to have a cone-biopsy to remove Grade 3 abnormal cells. I had been have regular pap smear every two years BUT I only asked for a THIN PREP test due to a poster in the Doctors office which the test could see the cells better, so from no problems to all of a sudden a Grade Three, the one step before cervical cancer, I was very unbelievably lucky. So home testing I would have done as well. I have checks every year now with a more in depth testing by my OB/GYN. So this article is crucial for being around to see your children grow up! :0)
