Cervical screening can prevent up to 75% of cervical cancers from developing. But 1 in 4 women offered the smear test do not get around to booking it.
I’ll be perfectly honest, it isn’t much fun. Being a shy person anyway, the thought of laying with my girl bits on display for a stranger does not appeal at all.
But neither does dying.
Leaving my children without a mother, my partner without his soulmate, my parents without their daughter.
So I do it for them, for me, for women everywhere so that my results could help further the research and knowledge of this cruel disease.
Cancer isn’t kind. It doesn’t care where it attacks you.
We should be the same, ruthless in eradicating it, fighting for ourselves and our future.
Two women everyday die of this disease.
A little bit of discomfort and embarrassment are a price worth paying to catch it early and get treatment.
