Well done Stef for having the smear and as you say all women must go regularly. My wife goes regularly and she had a bad smear and it was cancer and she had to have a radical hysterectomy. She is fine now and will continue to be checked up but if she hadn't gone she would more than likely died as the cancer would have advanced too far. So i implore all you ladies follow Stef and my wife's lead and make sure you go to the appointment regularly as i am sure you all have family, friends and children who would miss you.
