Ok, this isn't really a confession, just a bit of advice. I recently had a smear test which revealed I had early cervical cancer. I'm 28 and haven't been around very much, and I was shocked at first because I thought it only really happened to tarts and whores. I have been extremely lucky because the surgeons have been able to remove the whole cancer and it is highly unlikely I will need any further treatment.

The point of me writing this is to stress to all women of smear-testing age to get themselves checked regularly. I know it's not a particularly pleasant thing to have done, but a minute of slight discomfort can save your life. I'm not trying to preach or anything but I just feel so grateful that I now have the all clear.
