Since then, she became involved in the campaign to raise awareness of the HPV vaccine to try to save lives.Although Laura Brennan went through treatment for her condition, and was predicted to have a good chance of recovering, the cancer spread to her lymph nodes. This meant that there was no treatment for her condition, other than palliative chemotherapy that would prolong Laura’s life. Laura was a light in the life of everyone who knew her; a wonderful daughter, sister and friend.
The human papillomavirus can lead to a number of cancers, including cervical, penile, throat and anal cancers in men and women. Every year in Ireland, 300 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer – of that number 90 women will die of the disease.
Her message was clear, the HPV vaccine saves lives. RIP
RIP lovely lady 💕🙏
