Lower the age of smear tests
I've decided to start my own petition to lower the age of smear tests ...
I'm 24 years old recently I had my first smear test I have five children I've always asked after each baby If I could have a smear i was always told no I'm too young ..anyway I had my results from my smear which stated low grade abrnormal cells .it came as a shock as I thought every thing would be normal ..I was sent for a colopscopy where i had 3 biopsies taken and was told my cervix looked like it had servere cells ..I waited 2 weeks to have my results back ..finally I have the results and I have Grade CIN 3 cells which it's high grade servere pre cancerous cells ..and I'm being disussed at the hospital to which treatment is best for me ..the treatment can affect my feterlity and may not be able to have future babies ..my family is complete but at age 24 have to choice taken away us cruel ..the reason for this is smear tests just be lowered if I was able to have one sooner this all could of be avoided .never mind to emotional side of things .
