Cervical Cancer Vaccination

Just get back from a Focus Group Discussion
the research company is Synovate
which is located in Menara IGB
i had to rush over from the office
because it was raining very heavily
and thank god that i was able to sneak out
from the office 15minutes earlier
credit to Mak & Nini
*hugz*
the tunnels that i have to pass by everyday
is BANJIR!!
and just because of the minor flood issue
the traffic became heavier
=.-"
anyway luckily i got a wonderful
and clear direction from Mak & Nini
on how to go to KL from Tropicana
if not i guess i would have to use the only way i know
which i might not be able to reach MV
by 8pm i guess
LOL

the topic is basically related to
Cervical Cancer Vaccination
i am sure cervical cancer
is not a new term
for everyone of us
especially the ladies
anyhow not all of us will be aware of the vaccination
or else some of us knew about the vaccination
but we never bother to figure that out
because most people will be having the mindset
as in
"wait and see first" policy
same goes for myself

the first time i came across with
Cervical Cancer Vaccination
was 1 or 2 years ago
someone i knew shared me
a You Tube video
it took me 10 minutes to trace back this video
the same one that i have watched before


Gabby Swank
she took the vaccination called Gardasil
and she had to say good bye to her health forever
this is really saddening

i talked to one of the Doctor
regarding these side effects of the
cervical cancer vaccination
but she only told me
that time was just the beginning of the vaccine
being invented
therefore some people have problems with it

GOSH.. as if it's their own fault
if their body can't get along with the vaccine
and started to have seizure
or other health problems coming up
i felt like she might be one of those
irresponsible doctor that
just want to get people to get the jab
because she don't really bother
to explain much to me
except for telling me
you better get the jab now
the early the better
BUT she never tell me some important information
such as how is it protect you
if you are taking the vaccination
or is it FULLY protected from all kinds of viruses
perhaps i just never believe in her

i did talk about this with Yee Lin before
her advice to me was to get the jab as early as possible
the younger to get the vaccination
the better it is
she once told me there's actually
a range of age for a better effect or something like that

basically the focus group discussion
is to get our opinions and
to see how much do we know and understand
about the vaccination

it was my first FGD
and i was sooo nervous before i got there
cause my colleague told me
it's quite formal and client might be watching
at the back of the 1 sided mirror!
gosh..
that's really depressing

the situation was harmony back there
i tried to tell whatever i know
i tried to share all my thoughts
i am not sure whether it was good enough for them
but what i am trying to say is that
i tried my best to participate!
not so sure whether others feel the same way though

luckily it was a relaxing one
i like the moderator, Jennifer
she's a very friendly person
enjoy meeting new people there
and i get to know Miss Renee there
we lived like so close (Jalil Damai)
but we never know each other until today
LOL

anyway
at the end of the FGD
i said i am going to take the vaccination in 1-2 years time
AFTER i manage to figure out all the
statistics as well as cases that
related to side effects of allergy
after having the cervical cancer vaccination

just praying hard that
there will be some kind of workshops
that educate Malaysian ladies more
about the issues
both the cervical cancer itself
as well as the information from 'A' to 'Z' related to the vaccination
