Win a Holiday for Two to Canada for Your Nominated NHS Worker!I nominate myself, it’s my 40th wedding anniversary January 2021 but unlikely to be able to go away as we usually do due to Covid so this would be amazing, my husband is also a key worker.ViewDate:

Have you had a cancer scare?I was 29 and had a routine smear test which showed some inflammatory changes so was recalled to have it repeated about a month later. I then received an appointment for a colposcopy, as someone else has stated not a pleasant experience, the doctor told me that the abnormal cells had spread over a large area of the cervix and were one stage away from invasive cancer, I was given the option of a procedure called a cone biopsy or a hysterectomy, I was told to discuss it with my husband who was in the waiting room and let them know my decision. I opted for the hysterectomy having already had 2 children. The only symptoms I had were several bouts of vaginal thrush and some feelings like someone sticking a pin in me. 29 years later my sons have children of their own who give me so much pleasure. My message is please go for any health checks the earlier cancer is detected the better your chance of survival. Ps I am a staff nurse who has been working in a chemotherapy unit for 5 years now and whilst the treatments are not pleasant it is keeping people alive for much longer.ViewDate:

Should fox hunting be legal again?Absolutely NO. All forms of hunting and animal abuse should be stopped.
