I’m so grateful I had access to Pap screening in my 20s that allowed me to make sure I had a healthy body to grow my babies. Did you know Cervical cancer was once the leading cause of cancer deaths in women? But thanks to the Pap screening, the lives of thousands of women have been saved.
Unfortunately, this could change for young women under the age of 25. The lack of access to regular screenings and the threat of a guideline change could take the Pap away from young women, which could increase the risk of cervical cancer. We can’t let this happen.
Women in their twenties have so much life to live, and so many things to achieve! They deserve to be present for all of the amazing moments in their future. It makes me so sad thinking about all the amazing things I would have missed out on if I hadn’t had access to Pap screening.
