STV Live at 5
I was Invited back to the STV studios and this time to discuss Cervical Cancer Prevention Week. Sadly we run out of air time and I didn't get answering all my questions but every little helps. I invited Rhona Scott to join me as she was my gynae nurse right from the start of my cancer journey all those years ago.
Every day in the UK 9 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer
Around 2 women lose their lives from the disease every day
Cervical cancer is the most common cancer in women under 35
75% of cervical cancers can be prevented by cervical screening (smear tests)
However 1 in 4 women do not attend this potentially life-saving test
