I am happy that you are well. Truly.
But you have no idea if that test saved you. Maybe a week later you would have felt symptoms. You will never know.
I know we are being manipulated by medical practitioners. We are scared into and guilted into most testing and into taking pharmaceutical drugs.
Again I am happy you are happy. But your story doesn’t prove the necessity of invasive medical tests for the majority of society.
I believe the cervix itself has very little feeling, so you’re not going to feel anything or even notice anything until the cancer has spread back into the body or has chewed away at it so badly that there are symptoms...by which time it’s way too late.
A pap smear is a very simple test (if somewhat unpleasant!) and not “invasive.” And doctors are not getting wealthy on doing unnecessary pap smears or any of the other dire things Barry “Blame the Doctor” Obama would have you believe.
