After being diagnosed with cancer in 2020, Hernandez advocates for others to get the HPV vaccine before it's too late.
Hernandez opted against chemotherapy. He underwent surgery to remove the cancerous lymph nodes and 30 rounds of radiation. He spent 15 days in the hospital after he had complications due to his feeding tube.The father of two held on to his faith and strength of his wife to recover. They were unaware of the HPV vaccine.
“The doctors [asked] me if [my] kids have the vaccine, and I said no,” said Jose Hernandez, “They said it’s better for them to have it because it could be a trigger that they could get it.” Doctors recommended the HPV vaccine for children ages 9 to 12, but young adults up to age 26 can get the vaccine as well. Texas has the largest number of U.S. teens not protected against HPV.
“We’ve been fighting cancer for 108 years,” said Jeff Fehlis, executive vice president of the American Cancer Society. “We have a vaccine that can prevent cancer and that’s what makes the HPV vaccine so important.”“I wanted to make sure I was safe,” she said. “Because you never know when you’re going to get the cancer — it’s unpredictable.”
According to the American Cancer Society, HPV vaccination can prevent more than 90% of HPV cancers, which include throat, cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal and penile cancer.“Why wait in the future for problems, when you can prevent it now and not worry?” said Ashley Hernandez.
