'This test is done within five minutes and is much easier than going through chemotherapy'
A Belfast woman has opened up about the moment she was told she had cancer after skipping a smear test.
"I continued my travels and went on to Cambodia then I came back home and had an emergency smear. But they couldn't get the smear, and I was told to stay in the country, but I thought I could just fly back when they had an appointment. "Two months after my treatment, I was in Fiji working on the cruise ships again. I did my treatment, and had 65% chance of living, then I did a clinical trial, which gives me an extra 5% - so the odds were in my favour. The scans showed no more tumour, I was good to go, and I had to heal."
"My having sex, that will keep it open. It is an angle that I didn't think of, before this happened to me. That is why I am so open about it, and positive about it too." “I would tell people not to be scared but to start learning as much as possible. Knowledge helped anchor my emotions,” she said.
