A Doncaster woman is urging others to attend their cervical screening after warning signs were found during her own appointment.
Hayley Grice, 29, was told she had human papillomavirus after cell changes were detected through routine cervical screening. This is a warning sign for cervical cancer, and one that could be missed by many, with hundreds of thousands of women across the region not attending screening appointments, according to the charity. Hayley said: “I’m so glad that I went for my screening appointment. If I’d have put it off, I don’t know whether it would have developed into something worse.
Hayley continued: “I did start to panic at that point, but I really want to reassure people that just because you’re invited for a colposcopy does not mean that you have cervical cancer. “I took my mum with me for the test, and the whole team were really lovely and put me at ease. 'They understood that it was a scary thing and were so reassuring.” Hayley was told that she had HPV, and that it should go back to normal without any treatment.
