didn’t outwork us.”

rhythm. It was’t our best
game tonight, but it also
wasn’t our worst.”

Taber followed with nine
each. Cooley fi nished with

January is Cervical Cancer Screening Month
If found early, most cases of cervical cancer are treatable. The American Cancer Society
has provided guidelines for screening “average-risk" women by age:
All women
omen should begin being screened at age 21. Women between the ages
of 21 and 29 should have a Pap
ap test every three years. For this age group, HPV
testing is only used as a follow
w up for abnormal Pap results.
Beginning at age 30, women
omen should receive a combined Pap and HPV test
til age 65, OR a Pap test every three years.
If you or a loved one are facing a cancer diagnosis,
we are here to help. For more information,
call us at 541.304.2264, or visit
PendletonCancer.com.
For women aged 65 and over, , testing is not recommended if there have
been three consecutive negative
tive Pap tests, or two negative HPV tests in
the last 10 years, , with the most recent test taken within the past five years.
Women who have had a total
otal hysterectomy (including removal of cervix)
for reasons other than cancer
ancer or pre-cancer do not need to be tested.
Women in higher risk categories,
egories, or with a history of pre-cancerous
cells, may need to be screened
eened more often. Talk to your primary care
physician or your gynecologist
ologist about his/her recommendations.
