A dad who lost his wife to cervical cancer at the age of just 45 is calling for women to go for their smear tests - after finding five letters inviting her to screenings following her tragic death.
Peter Johnson said his family's lives were ripped apart when his wife Elke passed away in March 2019. Their two children Kayla and Kenan were just five and seven at the time.
He now raises them as a single parent at their home in Littleborough in Rochdale, but said 'the grief never stops'. He said he is tormented by the thought of whether her life could have been saved, after finding multiple reminder letters for cervical screenings that were sent to her in the years before her devastating diagnosis.
