We did it!!!
Today is World Cancer Day and I thought what better day to celebrate what we have accomplished with 💙
Back in November my mum and I headed to London to speak with MP’s about raising awareness of Ovarian Cancer and how women should be informed during their cervical screening that it does not screen for Ovarian cancer. We also wanted to make women aware of the signs and symptoms that often go unnoticed or disguised.
I shared my story about smear tests and how important it is that women know what they are being screened for and also with gaps between screenings being so much longer now it is so important that women get all the information they need and do not feel lost in this process.
I am so happy to say that following years of campaigning from , the NHS cervical screening guide in England has been updated to clearly state that cervical screening does not detect ovarian cancer. I am so grateful to be part of this campaign to make this happen and hopefully this information will help women all over the country💜
