I've had it and survived. Are they giving you local or general?

yep not pleasant but bearable, better than the alternative. A lie back and count the ceiling tiles number for me.

I've had it!

Just think of how effective it is at treating the abnormal cells.

Truth, the worst bit was the local anaesthetic jab.

But after that it was okay. I had a Valium about half an hour beforehand.

It's VERY quick and extremely effective.

You caught it, it's being treated, onwards and upwards.

Well done on keeping up w/your smear tests!

yes the jab is stingy I remember that - no worse than dental injections tho. good luck, it'll be fine.

Take it easy for the rest of the day, too!

Feet up, etc.

Begone, bad cells!!!
