Girls,
I just want to remind you ALL to get your smear test done! I had mine yesterday and I realised we always seem to make it out to be worse in our heads than it is in reality don't we?
I have a friend who is end-stage with cervical cancer and is receiving home palliative care. She is 38 years old with an 8 year old child It breaks my heart. And makes me think how lucky we are to have medical technology like smear tests.
I was at lunch with another friend recently discussing this, and she admitted she hadn't had a smear in *years* and I was also due to have one but kept forgetting to make the appointment! So we made a pact and both had them done this week.
Can I encourage all of you who are overdue to have your smear test to buddy-up with someone in the same boat and make a pact to get it done, so that you have someone to be accountable to?
...Now, I am running very late for mum&baby group! Byee!... x
