Story

Thanks loads for visiting my JustGiving page.

And if you are here - you definitely know why I'm raising funds for this charity. Approaching 50 and boom...the cervical cancer stage 4 card is dealt my way! This may have not been so advanced if 1: Doctors had taken me more seriously and not based their decisions on how well I appeared. 2: I was less embarrassed with the bizarre group of symptoms that I was experiencing. And 3: Gynaecological cancers were talked about more, knowledge was shared more and, women were taught more.

It's easy for a woman approaching this fine age to be told everything is hormonal and menopause is on its' ugly way and thats not cool...doctors do it.

I would like girls/women, whatever age they may be, to be able to get guidance and information about anything that may concern them regarding their ladies-bits. I would like to campaign for this to be the case but don't quite have the energy right now to make that happen...the closest I can get to this at the moment is in-trusting in Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust.

It is the UK’s leading cervical cancer charity they are here for everyone who needs. They aim to explore gaps in knowledge about cervical cancer and prevention that exist. They also aim work with women affected by cervical cancer and abnormalities to understand the issues faced by women during diagnosis, treatment and beyond. And they provide trustworthy information, campaign for change and provide support at every step.
