Yeah... I haven't been in a LDR since I was 14. It's definitely no the same.

I hope it's ok for me to say this here, but I'd really like to get some right about now. It's something completely different when you can't.

Right now it sucks to be alone and not being held and not have the option of being held and touched. I'm about to go on my period, I miss my husband and I'm really sad and bummed out :(

btw sooooooooo great abt young girls having to acess to the cervical vaccination

Delight at cancer jab for girls

It's a fantastic breakthrough

"fantastic breakthrough" against the devastating disease.

From next September, all girls aged 12 to 13 will be offered a vaccination to help protect against the human papilloma virus which causes 70 per cent of all cases of the cancer.

The Government, which announced the £100million programme yesterday, said there would also be a two year catch-up from 2009 for girls up to 18, costing £200million a year.

Pamela Morton of cervical cancer charity Jo's Trust said: "It is a fantastic breakthrough. It is above my expectations, I had been campaigning for up to 16."

Announcing the scheme, Health Secretary Alan Johnson said: "We need to do more to prevent disease, not just treat it. This means a shift from a sickness service to a wellbeing service."

But some groups are concerned that the programme still leaves women aged 18 to 26 vulnerable until smear tests begin.

Mrs Morton said: "These young women will continue to be exposed to the dangers of HPV. The Government should act now to offer all women up to 26 the vaccine free." Mum-of-two Michelle Vinall knows the devastating impact of cervical cancer after surgery two years ago.

The teaching assistant is starting to rebuild her life but is adamant daughter Francesca, 10, will never have to go through the ordeal.

Michelle, 37, of Wraysbury, Middlesex, said: "This vaccine is brilliant news. I lost 18 months of family life. Thankfully this new vaccine means she won't have to and thousands of others will also be spared the trauma."

The £300 vaccine, which is not compulsory and is most likely to be delivered in schools, will be given in three doses over six months.

Health minister Ann Keen defended the cost, saying: "It's a huge investment but we are talking about preventing cancer. It's a priority." The Government will now consider whether those aged 18 to 26 should be treated. The Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, which recommended the jab, said it was unlikely to be cost effective.

About 2,800 women a year are diagnosed with cervical cancer in the UK and around 1,000 die.

Shame it has to be paid for, but it will be the best £300 that willl be ever spend in you life.
