Do you get your Pap Test as recommended? According to this recent Health Day News report, younger women are beginning to follow the guidelines but older women don't. "More young women are following recently revised U.S. guidelines for getting Pap tests -- the standard screening for cervical cancer -- but many women who have had a total hysterectomy still get the tests unnecessarily, new government studies reveal." more [2]

Your thoughts?
