How common is cervical cancer? or is it not that common?

Much less common: PAP smears and now ThinPrep type cervical cancer screenings have decreased the incidence of cervical cancer significantly. If you get your pelvic exam and the appropriate intervals then you should never develop this cancer! Additionally, there is the HPV vaccine which is thought to prevent this type of cervical cancer.
