I had news tonight that a friend of a friend died of cervical cancer ...she was 32 and left behind a husband, 3 year old daughter and 12 year old boy ....please have regular check ups...for the sake of a few minutes.....
If only one member or lurker takes notice of this then it may be my most worthwhile thread

Sorry to hear that.




And a good message for us all.

I agree.

Sorry about the loss. So young

Damn that is too young.. I am sorry to hear that.

Regular check ups here

Thank god org girls are smart
I really don't understand why so many ladies I know say "I have never had one and don't intend to"..what r they thinking

Ocean said:

they are obviously not thinking of who they will be leaving behind

They have really cool gadgets for it these days too..

not ice cold metal being shunted up your whoopsie and wiping cells from your cervix with a used icelolly stick with joke printed on..

REDFEATHERS said:

if your gp/health clinic has reminder notices-sign up! with today's busy lives it is easy to forget or delay.

Rhondab said:

I'm overdue...I do need to go.
I'm so sorry to hear of your friend...that's such a tragedy.

Rhondab said:

Same here

So sorry to hear about your friend, Ocean

applekisses said:

I need to go also..couple of yrs overdue ..yeah I know , but check ups are expensive w/o insurance..which sucks not having..

sorry to hear about your friend..hope there is family to help with the children,,

Thanks everyone...I actually didn't know her shes a friend of a friend ...but it is just so tragic
apples and hisfan get ur butts into gear

ZombieKitten said:

I will soon...I need to find a new doctor's office. I work for a healthcare system and a lot of these docs are my clients, so I'd feel a little uncomfortable discussing communications and marketing as they're looking up my business.

applekisses said:

for your friends family


It is important to take good car of ourselves


I had my mamogram and pap last month everything is good

I would like to say too ... girls

insist your men go get checked as well

they found TR's cancer early enough to remove it before it spread if he had waited even a few yrs it may be taking his life at this time instead of cured

Mach said:

Yes quite right love (I think men are worse than women at getting things seen to)

Ocean said:

that they are... they usually need insistant

Mach said:

or this works too

Ocean said:

Okay ....

~ backs away slowly ~

Mach said:

Lucky ur female

Ocean said:

..I will, just told my hubby about this and he told me that I had better get this done, he would never forgive me if something happen to me, just because I was worried about how we were gonna afford a check up, his words were, we can afford a check up, I can't afford to lose you..
