I still have smears done. The doctor said that just because I have no cervix doesn't mean I can't get vaginal cancer. BUT, I only do this once every three years.

Koala, isn't it strange how different the protocol's are? You have yearly, we have every three years.

True! Annual here for PAP smears, and our free mamograms are every second year..... yearly if you've had breast cancer.

Thanks for that Sandy. Maybe that's another protocol that's unique to us here, but as cancer is not unique to any country, it seems a bit strange to me.
