Hello,
Have just read this thread and would urge all ladies to go and get checked out. I hadnt had a smear in 7 years
Kept putting it off, throwing away the letters, thinking it'll never happen to me-surely there would be signs of something amiss..
Ignoring the phonecalls to make an appt
in the end my doctor actually rang me up requesting that I went in to see her. I was told that from a medical I had had several months earlier that there was blood in my urine...and that they had been trying for several months to get in touch with me
anyhow had more tests and finally a smear. Whilst having the smear i was told it didnt look good. my cervix was severly inflamed and bleeds to the touch. when being asked a series of questions afterwards it suddenly dawned on me..I could have cancer
i asked the doctor outright and she agreed it is a possibility
Now im waiting for the results to come in and only hope Ive not learnt my lesson the hard way !
Please all ladies, go and get one done-I was embarrassed to have one due to my size-as im alot bigger since having my last child 7 yrs ago-silly I know, but true. I would rather be embarrassed for 5 minutes than die from my embarrassement.x
