A cervical cancer survivor, who was able to fly abroad for her best friend’s wedding just days after undergoing robotic surgery to remove her womb, has said that “no one could believe” she recovered so quickly and she wants to stress the importance of never missing a smear test.
Klodjana Aliaj, 42, who works in finance and lives in London, said her symptoms were “so mild” that she almost dismissed them as hormonal changes, however, during a smear test – which checks the health of the cervix – she decided to raise her concerns.
