A routine smear test has saved the life of a woman who was diagnosed with cancer in 2021 despite not having symptoms.
Tania Taylor, from Rochdale, Manchester, received her letter in the post as usual last January, and booked herself in for a test. Just weeks later, her world spun upside down when she was told she had cervical cancer.
Fortunately, she was given the all-clear after doctors successfully removed most of the cancerous cells. Tania will still need to go for a colposcopy screening every six months for the next five years.
