I always knew HPV could lead to cancer—I just didn’t expect it to happen so fast. For years, I kept up with routine screenings, burning off abnormal lesions before they could turn into something worse. Until one day, they couldn’t. In just a year, I went from high-risk lesions to stage 2 anal cancer. Treatment pushed me to my limits, but I fought back. Now, I’m sharing my story to make one thing clear: HPV-related cancers are preventable. Vaccinate. Advocate. Educate.
