I have been to doctors today to see the doctor to see she will give me something for my really painful period pain I have been getting the last couple of months and nothing I have been taking as helped me so I get in there and the first thing she says is I am here for my smear test I say no because I am scared witless of have someone touching me down there because of what happened to me when I growing that I haven't had one for years. I now it is in best interests to have it done but I just so scared how do I get past this and get this done.
She went on to have symptoms down below that weren't good, she still was too scared.
She then found out finally when things were really not good, that she had cancer and she'd let it go too long.
IF she had a pap it would have saved her life.
She passed away. Aged 40.
IF she had a pap it wouldn't have happened. I am not saying it to make you worry about results, quite the opposite. Chances are all is fine!
I hope this gives you strength. Please do have the test. I miss Christine every day xo
