Hi Violet Sunset,

Ditto, get to see another GP - Yours is obviously one of these textbook idiots who thinks young people can't get cancer. I assume you mentioned your mums cervical cancer at 28 ?

Hope this all turns out negative for you - If it is any consolation Cervical isn't one of the more common cancers with a hereditary link, but nothing is proved and coincidences do happen.

You could use the free phone support line 0808 808 0000 number after 9am and speak to one of the Macmillan cancer nurses for some advice.

Meanwhile there is some information about how cervical is diagnosed here.

Take care, George & Jackie
