NOW CLOSED: Gransnetter aged 50+? Complete a Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust survey – chance to win an iPad Mini!

My last test must have been at least 10 years ago, I used to call into the mobile caravan when they came locally. But have never been reminded, However now at 91 I think I will forget about it ,luckily still fairly healthy if slow and bit wobbly

Done.

Yes Go!!! I have to contact my local hospital to get my test as they dont call me automatically Im 66 years old. But worth it!

it is many years since I had a test and suppose will not be asked now as I am 91
but still coping with life and looking after my husband of 64 years, who is now getting very forgetful but at least we are happy and content with a lovley family and still friends who bother with us

All done..survey was quick and easy. Wish I could say the smear test was the same, I didn't have one for many years as the last one I had was painful. I was persuaded a few months ago by the surgery practice manager to allow a 'gentle' female doctor to do it and she was just as bad as it was painful throughout and she left me bleeding!

All done, thank you.

all done

All done. I have to admit I avoid them, Shame there is not a diy kit!

I put off having a smear for 9years after having a very painful test. They have changed now and it is completely painless, all ladies need to get a test

all done, very painless x

I always go for my tests, it takes a few minutes and peace of mind.

It is so important to have all types of screening that is available. Cancer & other life threatening conditions can happen to anyone & must be devastating.

Done.

done it, I did my bowel cancer test and it was positive, Im now almost a year in remission.

All done

Done - and surprisingly painless
It is crucial to take any of the free tests whether bowel cancer, cervical cancer, breast cancer... It is incumbent upon oneself to be as well as possible for as long as possible!

Done - quick and easy. Now for a cuppa and a biscuit!

Well done Lupatria on recognising and not ignoring your symptoms. Going to see the GP will undoubtedly have prolonged your life:-)

I had two of the symptoms listed in the survey and went to my doctor who referred me to the hospital.

it turned out that I had ovarian cancer although I had none of the usual symptoms of that!

after a complete hysterectomy I went into full menopause at the age of 47 - but, thankfully, I didn't have to have any further treatment. I had a ct scan every year for the next 10 years but, again thankfully, had no problems during those 10 years and I've had no problems since.

it's important to "listen" to your body and visit your doctor if something out of the ordinary happens. and it's also very important to go for a smear test when you're called and to also have a test after you are deemed "too old" to be called on a regular basis.

while I had no problems with smear tests however I must admit that I don't have to have them any more!

Done it

Done.
