Smear tests to be more thorough every time

Smear tests to be more thorough every time

The Issue

I was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2015, my original smear test done at the doctors came back clear only after a colposcopy and several admissions into hospital did I get told I had Cancer.

 

I believe that the smear test cannot be 100% relied on after my experience and therefore should be a more intrusive test to save time and mis-diagnosis.

Making this happen will lessen the chance of other woman going through what i did and will  increase the chance of early diagnosis of cervical cancer.
