    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...

    The documents are attached.

    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

    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
