AND PSA! - for anyone over the age of 30, accepting your regular smear invitation remains vital. Think of it as a mini party for your cervix, a celebration of being alive. It could save your life. Over and out 💙 217 views · 4 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

BUT - vaccination rates are falling and the massive progress we've made is in danger of stalling. HPV vaccine uptake is now just 75% nationally and 60% in London. We can't take the elimination of this entirely defeatable cancer for granted.. 265 views · 3 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

I was diagnosed with cervical cancer 14 yrs ago, caught in a routine smear. I was so lucky. Doctors got rid of it and I was able to have my two kids. Now there is almost no chance my daughter will ever die from the disease, thanks to the HPV vaccine https://t.co/QAm0Zq7IjA 2K views · 47 likes · 7 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
