A cervical cancer diagnosis was never on Tiera Wade's radar. But that changed in 2020 in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. 'I was diagnosed dead smack in the middle of the pandemic,' Wade said. 'So, while the world was up in flames about Covid, I had this issue that was diagnosed with an advanced stage of cervical cancer .' A traditional hysterectomy was not an option for treating Wade's stage 2B cervical cancer .
There are four different ways to test for cervical cancer, including HPV tests, Pap smears, or self-swabbing. HPV vaccines are available beginning at age nine to prevent HPV-related cancers. That information is not always clearly communicated, which is why Wade has become an ambassador for Cervica, a cervical cancer support group. As an ambassador, Wade is out in her community, sharing her experience and teaching people of all ages about the importance of screening.
