A cancer patient has spoken out and said that she feels women's healthcare has been "overlooked" after getting a cancer diagnosis.
For years Beverley 'Bev' Hewitt knew 'something was not right and in July 2023, she was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, which is also known as womb (uterus) cancer. She is currently receiving treatment stage three C of the cancer.
As is stands, there is currently no routine screenings for endometrial cancer, unlike cervical screening, or 'smear tests'. While smear tests use a swab of the cervix, endometrial cancer can be detected through a scan of the womb, a biopsy, or blood tests.
