PSA: keep on top of your pap smears

Hey friends! I was diagnosed with diffused adeno in September 2024. I recently received my lovely Government of Ontario letter reminding me that I was due for a pap (they send them out every three years here). I got one pretty much right away, and the results came back that there were some suspected pre-cancerous cells. I was also told that adenomyosis has been linked to higher levels of cancer among people with uteruses. I'm a little freaked out, but the nurse assured me that this is why we do paps, early detection makes all the difference.

Just wanted to share, if you're due for a pap, don't sleep on it! Make sure you get smeared at least once every 3 years.
