It is not too late to remind your family and friends that there is a good and easy to test for cervical cancer.  The PAP test is quick and painless and the earlier you can catch any cancer the better the odds of beasting this disease so many of us know.

I did see an interview with a doctor (and I wish I could remember what show it was on).  He was pretty much saying that women get cervical cancer because they have sex.  The way he said it was pretty insulting and if I could remember the show I would email them and say they make it sound like it is the woman's fault for getting cancer.  Last time I heard it took TWO! 

I digress....PLEASE send a note to all your loved ones and remind them of this simple test.
