A woman who was diagnosed with cancer despite having no symptoms has told how a routine smear test saved her life. Tania Taylor had her world turned upside down when abnormal cells were discovered during a cervical screening in January 2021. Just weeks later, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer.
Thankfully, doctors were able to remove most of the cancerous cells and the 37-year-old was given the all-clear. She will still need to go for a colposcopy screening every six months for the next five years and is on a waiting list for a hysterectomy to help prevent reoccurrence.
