Lower the age of smear testing to 18 years, Now!

I have just been cleared of cervical cancer. It was brought to my attention when I was pre5with my daughter who's now 5 months old. Since sheshe been born I've had 2 operations and part ofor my cervix removed. I'm one of the fortunate ones! I know a few young ladies (one 21 and another who's 19years old) both ladies were constantly refused smears as they were under 25 years. Now the 19year old has been diagnosed also with cervical cancer (early) and my friend who's 21 has a family history of the same thing! Please lower the age to 18 years old for smears - help save more life's. It's so common now in under 25's
