HPVANDME’s Post

In 2019, when Cindy Southwell found a bump in her anus, her doctor summed it up to a hemorrhoid until she insisted on a rectal exam. The diagnosis: HPV-16+ anal cancer. When I interviewed Cindy, she bravely opened up about a cancer that many don't want to talk about. HPVANDME hopes that Cindy's story will be watched and shared so more people learn about early symptoms and what to expect from treatment. In 2024, new anal cancer cases topped 10K in the US alone, with about 2,190 deaths, according to the American Cancer Society. The HPV vaccine helps prevent six types of HPV cancers, including anal cancer.
