Most women between the ages of 25-65 should have regular cervical cancer screenings.
In many cases, there are no early warning signs of cervical cancer, which is why screenings are so vital.
Even women who are finished having children or who practice “safe” sex should follow screening guidelines set by the American Cancer Society.
It’s a story that should have had a different ending. In 2014, Rachael Foley, 43, had a Pap Smear, just like she was supposed to. She was told the results were normal, and went on with her life per usual… only the results really weren’t normal. Three years later, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer and had to have a hysterectomy.
