This month is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. In respect to this, A-1 Home Care has compiled resources that may inform you about this serious illness.
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that often grows very slowly over a period of years. Before
the cancer actually develops, there are early changes that occur in the
cells of the cervix. While these abnormal cells may not actually be cancerous, these
cells may lead to cancer. These cells are sometimes referred to as
precancerous, meaning that they have the potential to develop into
cancer if not treated.
All women, younger and older, are potentially at risk of developing cervical cancer at some
point in their lifetime. The most common risk factors for cervical
cancer include an early age of first intercourse, having multiple sexual
partners, and having experienced a weakened immune system. Cervical
cancer is most often diagnosed in women in their late 30s. It can,
however, be diagnosed in younger as well as elderly women.
A-1 Home Care has provided senior caregiving services since 1991. We provide services for women with cervical cancer, and have excellent reviews from our satisfied clients. Take a look at our Caregivers of the Year for a sample of our excellent qualifications.
