A 40-year-old woman in the UK successfully fought against cervical cancer last year, but refused to undergo a Pap smear test to follow up her condition because she was afraid of embarrassment. Two months later, she suddenly developed symptoms such as tingling in the groin and dry skin. It was only after seeking medical treatment that it was confirmed that the cancer had recurred, and she probably only had a few months left to live.

However, she refused to undergo a Pap smear test to follow up her condition because of fear and embarrassment. Two months later, she suddenly felt severe pain in her groin, dry skin, dandruff, athlete’s foot and other symptoms, and even suffered heavy bleeding during intercourse, so she decided to Then go to the oncology department of the hospital for treatment.
At that time, the doctor’s preliminary examination indicated that these symptoms may be just side effects of “radiation damage” caused by previous cancer treatment, and it is expected that the symptoms will gradually disappear. However, her pain continued, and it was not until September this year that she went to the hospital for a CT scan, ultrasound, and positron scan, which confirmed that her cancer had recurred and had spread to her right groin, cervix, and left lung. It is a terminal cancer and it is estimated that he only has a few months left to live.
Victim: I can’t describe that feeling
Tasha Doran recalled how she learned the bad news: “I collapsed when they told me. I ran out of the clinic crying and collapsed on the ground. I can’t describe the feeling.” She also regretted that she did not fight cancer after she successfully fought against it. After undergoing a Pap smear test to follow up her condition, the cancer recurred. She said that she only hopes to use the remaining time to spend more time with her family and friends, especially since her son and Mirai will give birth to a child at the end of the year. She made a promise refer to:
“I will work hard until December, until my granddaughter is born, so that I can officially become a grandmother.”
She also called on all ladies to have regular check-ups to detect gynecological problems early.
According to data from Cancer Research UK, there are approximately 3,200 new cases of cervical cancer in the local area every year, and about half of the patients will survive for 10 years or more; , provide cervical screening or smear examination to confirm whether there is human papillomavirus (HPV) in the cell sample. If high-risk HPV is found, the cells will also be checked for abnormal changes so that treatment can be done before cancer occurs.
8 high-risk groups for cervical cancer
Bai Yingyu, a Taiwanese surgical specialist, said earlier that the cervix is located at the bottom of the uterus and is connected to the vagina. The cervix contains glandular cells and squamous epithelial cells. The intersection of the two cells is where cervical cancer occurs. Both types of cells may transform into cancer, but squamous epithelial cells dominate, accounting for more than 70%.
She explained that cells do not just change and become malignant immediately. Therefore, the cells will first have “precancerous lesions” and gradually degenerate. It usually takes 5 to 10 years before they develop into cervical cancer. Therefore, Pap smear examination is very important. If you undergo regular examinations and receive treatment when precancerous lesions are found, almost all cervical cancers can be prevented.
She also mentioned that infection with human papillomavirus is one of the most important risk factors for cervical cancer. There are more than 100 types of human papillomavirus, some of which can easily cause genital or anal warts, commonly known as “cauliflower”, and are low-risk types. There are more than 10 high-risk types, which can easily lead to cancer. After infection, in addition to women being susceptible to vaginal cancer and cervical cancer, men are also more likely to suffer from penile cancer. However, in addition to human papillomavirus infection, there are other factors to be aware of:

It is advisable to have regular cervical smear tests
According to information from the Hong Kong Family Planning Association, abnormal cells on the cervix may be caused by inflammation or lack of female hormones after menopause, but it may also be caused by cervical lesions. Cervical lesions are a series of diseases, which can be divided into “low-grade lesions”, “high-grade lesions”, and even the most serious cervical cancer. If cervical lesions are discovered during a Pap smear test (also known as Pap smear test), a cervical speculum examination is required to further confirm the condition of the lesions.
If low-grade lesions are shown during cervical speculum examination, it means that early or minor changes in the cervix have occurred. However, at least half of patients will recover without treatment within one or two years, so most patients only need to be observed without treatment. However, if the disease persists, your doctor may perform treatment. Among patients, a small number of patients will have their lesions worsen and may gradually develop into cervical cancer over a period of time. Regular cervical smear examination can detect signs of deterioration early. With appropriate treatment, the chance of deterioration into cancer can be reduced.
