Mama 2 Be said:People are so quick to knock her though its awful. She's saying she is doing the Living show for the money for her children and to be honest I believe her, she's a great Mum and I would do the same if I was in her position. Even if it meant selling my soul to the devil himself to ensure my children got the best life I could possibly give them I would.
She's also highlighting the importance of smears which can only be a good thing. Like a massive percentage of this population I have had abnormal smear results, I also know someone who has been devestated by cervical cancel but has lived to tell the tale although sadly she is no longer able to have children.
Jade, although has driven me crazy over the years is a brave and wonderful Mum - my heart goes out to her.
Zebrastripes - DEMAND a smear don't take no for an answer it's every womans basic right and if they still refuse take it further - your health is far more important than their budget contraints! I believe family planning clinics used to do them - not sure if they still do but its worth looking into.
Yes! Local Well Women clinics do smear tests!
