We do hope you've been following our 'C' Word campaign, which has been raising awareness of the three key cancers which primarily affect women: breast, ovarian, and cervical.

Thanks to everyone who's posted questions so far - do come and browse the breast cancer Q&A, and the ovarian cancer Q&A to see our experts' answers.

Now it's time for our last Q&A thread - this time it's about cervical cancer, in partnership with Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust.

Cervical cancer is a largely preventable disease - the National Cervical Screening programme now saves some 4,500 lives every year. Nevertheless, eight women in the UK are diagnosed with cervical cancer every day, and face an uncertain future.

If you're unsure what the symptoms are, are worried about your chances of contracting cervical cancer, or you've been diagnosed and want to know more about treatment, please do post your questions for the experts at Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust here.

Post your questions by the end of Friday please - the team will get the answers back to us as quickly as they possibly can, so do keep an eye out.

Thanks again to everyone who's posted so far - and to the four fabulous charities who have taken part: Breakthrough Breast Cancer, Breast Cancer Care, Ovarian Cancer Action, and Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust.

Hello. Please can we remind you that this a thread for you to post questions for the experts at Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust.

In other words, following the format of the other Q&As in our C Word campaign, this is a thread for questions - and we'll publish the experts' answers later.

We don't want to stop discussion, of course, but we think it's probably best to wait and let the experts answer the questions - rather than try to answer each other's questions for ourselves.
