Preventing Cervical Cancer & What you should know
We have loads of threads about Cervical Cancer since Jade Goody was diagnosed and subsequently died of it.
I picked up 2 leaflets at the doctor's and found the online versions so you can all have a read of them.
They are in PDF format and you can download a PDF reader here...

Re: Preventing Cervical Cancer & What you should know
There's been a lot of controversy about who should get a smear, and whether you should book one at 20 or wait until 25.
I'm 20 and have been sexually active for about a year and a half. I've had two sexual partners in that time: should I book a smear?
Re: Preventing Cervical Cancer & What you should know
Fantastic idea. Well done Jade for highlighting awareness xx
Re: Preventing Cervical Cancer & What you should know
Anxious,
I reckon its a good idea hun, doesnt hurt and will put your mind at rest.
Can anyone post the general prevention tips in a reply as I cant read anything in pdf on this laptop...it always causes my comp to crash even after trying to reinstall, would really appreciate it.

Re: Preventing Cervical Cancer & What you should know
Hello everyone , I think the age for a cervical smear should be lowered and to get this done , women who feel strongly about it should write to the
Prime Minister, we have to make the change, i for one will definately voice my opinion to the Prime Minister , i agree its absoulutely disgusting refusing any young woman who would like one, best wishes, love dusky x
