I CANNOT believe that Wales is to stop inviting under 25 year olds for smear tests from now on.
My daughter was diagnosed with pre cancerous cells after a smear test at the age of 23 and had to have them surgically removed. If she had waited until the age of 25, she might not be here with us today, which doesn’t bear thinking about.
After all the media coverage of Jade Goody, which saved hundreds of lives, I cannot believe that Wales is now raising the age limit. What price does the government put on our children’s lives?
