It's quite bad really the amount of women not going for it, my nurse said the percentage of women having it done at our practice is at an all time low :/

We lost my sister in law to cervical cancer a few years back, she was only turned 40 and the scary thing is she had never had an abnormal test result!

So sorry Josy about your sister in law. There's a big issue here at the moment which i mentioned earlier where around 4000 women got back false results on their smears and unfortunately it was too late for a few of them.
