A young mum who has been diagnosed with cervical cancer is urging other women to get their smear test too.
Shannon Murphy received the news in June, the day before her birthday and said her diagnosis at the age of 28 proves how important it is to get checked.
The mum of four from Tallaght, South Dublin, claims she had a very “vivid” dream that she needed to have a smear done and now believes it was a premonition.
