• It cannot be emphasised too often that the cervical screening programme does not look for cancer. The sample of cells taken is examined under a microscope to look for signs of abnormal cells.
• Your cervical screening test is important because if abnormal cells are detected early, they can be monitored or treated which helps prevent them ever developing into cervical cancer cells.
• Many people become very worried when they receive a positive smear result, but it does not mean that you have cancer. It simply means that you have some cells that appear to be abnormal.
• Your GP will explain what your results show and discuss with you the recommended course of action. In many cases, the best option is to wait and see if the next screening test reverts to normal as very often your body will deal with the abnormal cells itself.
• It is vital that you attend when you are invited, even if you feel well and are busy with normal life. Most of the women who die from cervical cancer have either never had a cervical screening test or have not attended their regular appointments.

Mary Lunnen is a survivor of cervical cancer and her book presents the facts about the disease in a very sensitive, guiding way. She explains the treatment options and the emotional side of coping with a positive smear test result and/or a diagnosis of cervical cancer.

There is also a lot of statistics and general information contained in the book, which is what makes it an essential guide for any woman of any age. Cervical cancer is a preventable disease and the most important thing you can do to prevent it is to attend your cervical screening appointment when invited.

Rachel Newcombe, author of Skin Cancer and Sun Safety – The Essential Guide states that the following are the key sun safety messages:

• Stay out of the sun when it’s at its hottest, from about 11am until 3pm. If you have to be outside during those times, then stay in the shade.
• Wear sunscreen to protect your skin and to get into the habit of putting it on before you go out.
• Clothing is a good way of covering up and protecting your skin.
• Wear a hat to protect your head, and sunglasses to protect the eyes.
• Reapply sunscreen if you’ve been in water.
• Sunscreen and hats aren’t just something to think about at home, they’re also important at school too.

Skin Cancer and Sun Safety – The Essential Guide will be published 1st June 2010 by Need2Know Books.
