Hello
Sorry to jump in here from the cervical section but I just wanted to share some new information. About 8 months ago I was chatting on a thread with some ladies who were concerned that the cervical screening programme stops at 65. Beth2 on the cervical cancer section has just posted an article saying that PHE is considering raising the screening age to 75. If you look on the cervical section under cervical cancer post menopause you will find it there. The ladies I spoke to were Beesuit Drivermason and Radioactive Raz.
Hope this will be useful to someone on here.

Now that is good news. Thank you.
If we are diagnosed with H/N The only course of action has been to pay for a private test if we were over 65.
