Amber's Story... Why Do We Exist As A Charity?

On 8th January, 2017 Amber tragically passed away as a result of cervical cancer which spread to her lungs and throat, Amber battled her illness for 4 years.

Amber repeatedly attended appointments with concerns, but unfortunately nothing was picked up until Amber attended a private smear which subsequently lead to a diagnosis of stage 2 cancer, Amber underwent gruelling chemotherapy, radiation and many other surgical operation.

Ambers Law was set up initially to lower the age of cervical screening invites, as this policy change could have potentially saved Amber. Today we aim for better education around signs and symptoms, improvement of health services and better statistics on screening uptake, only 1-3 women take up their

appointment when called for by their GP which is a hard statistics to swallow knowing Ambers plight for treatment.

The HPV vaccination roll out has been the biggest development in the area of cervical cancer, however our question remains… what happens to women who fall outside of the NHS policy of 25 to 65 years?

If you are due your smear and lucky enough to be invited (yes we said lucky) go and get it done… it's a test that could potentially save your life!

Please don't die of embarrassment, book today.
