I really want to post thos fir personal reasons, I know Anmie as a fellow artist and im super proud of her in her advocacy talking about her story.

I had my bout of HPV, then was told o had pre cancerous cells, then the next year clear and not another test for 5 years. This country really doesn't seem to think when it comes to women's health, and especially when women go into a gp about pain.
