A cervical cancer survivor was told she ‘wouldn’t be here now’ if she had postponed her smear test by just six months.
Elizabeth Ham, 37, said she experienced no symptoms before being examined and is now urging all women to get tested regardless of whether they are showing signs or not as ‘those five minutes can save your life’.
Elizabeth, who works as a settlements manager, said she has always been “up to date” with her smear tests – also known as a cervical screening – which check the health of the cervix, and the results have always been negative.
