A mum-of-two from Dumbarton is having sleepless nights after waiting almost a year for a test to see if she has cancer. The mum, who has asked not to be identified, is worried after a smear test last February showed she had abnormal cells.
It's almost been a year and she is still waiting for a follow-up appointment for a colposcopy – a test to take a closer look at the cervix – to see if there are signs of cancer.
Labour health spokeswoman, Jackie Baillie last night blasted the Scottish Government for failing women as waits for colposcopies in Scotland’s largest health board area soar, the Daily Record reports.
