You're so right there Nox, the hospitals round here are fantastic [well maybe the infamous Whipps Cross leaves a little to be desired at times] I have never had to wait for treatment of any description. Part of what scared me so much was the speed everything moved at, but it couldn't have been better really.
And yes, I second the issue of ladies like me who ignore their smear requests. I have been so very lucky and have prompted a fair few to get off their backsides and get their tests done. No it's not a nice thing but it takes minutes and the alternative is so much worse!
Love you all for caring so much.
