I am 67 and have not had a smear test since I was about 48 I had total hysterectomy age 45 and was on HRT until 62 when I had Heart Surgery and had to come off HRT immediately. I am 67 now.

    I think the NHS is getting better. When in a hurry I can have the bloods done today. I am just waiting until later in week as the queue at the Heamatology Clinic is horrendous on a Monday. Appt for diabetes check is an annual one done regularly along with my Angina check up. Called a yellow clinic. I will also be having eye tests, podiatry tests as well in the next month. I sometimes feel a bit guilty about the cost to the NHS but then I have paid into it for most of my life.

    I think a lot of things are improving for everyone since the invention of the computer. We finally have a voice.

    Have a lovely day. C xx
