At 32, She Didn’t Know About Cervical Cancer and HPV – Until Her Diagnosis

Stephany Goyla found out she had cervical cancer after her first-ever Pap smear at the age of 32. A self-described workaholic, Ms. Goyla admits she didn’t know anything about cervical cancer and had postponed seeing a doctor for screenings since moving to South Florida from the Caribbean island of Curacao. Like many U.S. adults, she didn’t realize that cervical cancer remains one of the most highly preventable diseases in the U.S. and that it tends to occur in young or middle-aged women. Also, more than 90 percent of cases are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), the most common sexually transmitted infection.

It is thought of as sexually transmitted, but there are also other ways to be transmitted as well. And it is, we know that it's responsible for a multitude of cancers, but in particular cervical cancer is caused by HPV.

I used to work 14 hour days. Including Saturdays and Sundays sometimes. For the six years that I've lived in the United States, where we have really good doctors, I've not visited a doctor once. As for the cause for the cancer, which is HPV, I was never vaccinated when I was 15, 16 years old. As for my pap, I've never done a pap. I gave work priority.

[doctor and patient interaction] [Noah Kalman, M.D.]: I first met Stephany in consultation. She had been seen by her gynecologist and then sent to one of our gynecologic oncologists, [Baptist Health South Florida webpage] [Noah Kalman, M.D.]: and then in consultation with our gynecologic treatment team we decided that the best treatment for her was a combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy. [video of a large group of doctors] [Stephany Goyla, Survivor]: Luckily for me it did not spread. It was only located in my cervix area. So I was very happy with that, and throughout this entire journey it's just praying everyday that I'm strong. That I can get through my next appointment. The rest of my family lives in Curaçao, nobody knew about this. [nurse and patient interaction] [Stephany Goyla, Survivor]: Because once they hear cancer, "Oh my god you're gonna die!" That's not the vision I had. I see more I beat it, rather than it beat me. [Noah Kalman, M.D.]: Our patients when they first come into the Miami Cancer Institute to see our physicians, we take in all the available information that we already have, and then patients are presented at our tumor board. We have surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and radiologists, and other specialties as well all come together to discuss a given patient's case and to help figure out what is the best treatment for that given patient. (inspiring music and black screen) [The power of positive] [Stephany Goyla, Survivor]: I felt positive throughout the entire process because of Miami Cancer Institute. Everyday that I had a treatment, I was treated as if, "You're gonna get through this!" And that helped me. [picture of Stephany Goyla and medical team] When I was surrounded by people who had a positive attitude, makes me feel better as well. I'm so happy that I ended up here. Very happy. [Noah Kalman, M.D.]: Stephany was an amazing patient. She had a great attitude. Now, after a number of months she's had new scans, new imaging scans that have shown that there is no evidence of disease. And that symptomatically she's doing very well after treatment. [video of Stephany Goyla ringing the bell] [Stephany Goyla, Survivor]: Each and every woman my age, or younger or older, who have never visited a gynecologist, do so. Don't take this for granted. Don't think that just because you don't feel it it's not there. It can be there. It can be an easy pap test that could give a positive result of having cancer. But the severity of it can change your life. (soft music) [Baptist Health logo] [end of transcript]
