My CERVICAL CANCER Screening - Amy | Cervical Cancer | The Patient Story

Amy shares how she was diagnosed with both melanoma and cervical cancer, emphasizing the importance of regular screening. Despite being told HPV would likely clear up, she advocated for frequent pap smear tests due to her family history. Over the years, her tests progressively showed worsening precancerous cells and abnormal bleeding. She later found out, she had stage 1 cervical cancer.

In this cancer vlog, Amy shares her life-threatening infection after surgery, stressing the need to listen to your body and get second opinions.
