A legal secretary from Oldham is urging others to make sure they attend their cervical screening test as she prepares for cancer treatment.
Laura Hope, 35, from Failsworth, went for her cervical screening appointment (also known as a smear test) at her GP practice in October last year.
A few weeks later she got a letter informing her that the test had shown high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) and some abnormal cells.
Laura was then sent on to The Royal Oldham Hospital for further investigations, this is known as a colposcopy. This is where a specialist nurse or doctor takes a closer look at the cervix (the opening to the womb from the vagina).
Sadly just a few days before Christmas Laura got a letter telling her she needed to go back to hospital. Then on December 29, she found out that she had cervical cancer.
Laura said: “Christmas was really difficult this year trying not to worry while I waited to find out what was happening.
“I tried to convince myself everything was alright but then just before New Year they told me it was cervical cancer.”
Laura has always attended her cervical screening after following the story of the celebrity Jade Goody who died from cervical cancer in 2009.
Jade’s story was recently highlighted when her son Bobby Brazier took part in BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing and dedicated a dance to the memory of his mum.
Laura said: “I’ve always gone for my cervical screening tests. I remember Jade Goody’s story, so I know how important it is to catch cervical cancer – or any cancer – early.
“A few years ago, my cervical screening test picked up that I had high-risk HPV and so I was moved to annual cervical screening tests.
“I’m happy that I know I couldn’t have done any more to catch my cancer early.
