Boris Johnson's estranged wife, who was diagnosed with cervical cancer in May, says she is 'cancer-free'.
"I would urge other women to make the time and do the tests."
Describing her own reaction in May, after a doctor told her of her cancer diagnosis, she said she thought:"That's absurd. I have no time for this.She said her experience made her appreciate"the incalculable value of holding close those who you love and trust".The UK's leading cervical cancer charity said it is"fantastic" Ms Wheeler has talked so openly to raise awareness of the disease, which affects women of all ages.
Robert Music, of Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust, said:"Cancer can be very isolating and Marina's story may help others facing diagnosis feel less alone. "While cervical screening does not prevent against all cervical cancers, it provides a high degree of protection against the disease. "By using her experience to highlight the importance of the test, Marina may prevent others from going through the same as her."
