Sometimes wish I had never bothered – Debra’s Story
My story begins in January 2009 when a routine smear test revealed CIN3 cells and I was advised I would need treatment as soon as possible.

I underwent a follow-up smear a year later which revealed the CIN3 cells were still present but in a less severe form so I was advised to return for a follow up check the following year.
After a period temporary employment I was then lucky enough to find a new permanent job in Decemb...
