Episode Information
This will be life changing for women. Not only can we do away with more than 80% of painful procedures, this self test will more accurately pick up cells that could lead to Cervical Cancer, saving lives earlier and taking away the stigma and pain of the smear test at the doctor. Easy, accurate, painless. Great conversation between Mandy and Catherine on this topic.
