When Vikki Ridler was 27 she felt content with life. A mum-of-two, a job she loved and in the first throws of a new relationship, life felt good - busy, but good.
But everything came crashing down when she went for a routine smear test and the result showed signs of cervical cancer. Since the birth of her son, Vikki had gone in for a smear test every six months.
In August 2017 she was two months late for her test but didn''t think much of it. "I spotted bleeding that prompted me to go to the doctors. My previous smear had been fine so I never predicted what would happen next," she told The Mirror.
