Mother campaigns after daughter dies from cervical cancer

A 22-year-old from Oldbury died from cervical cancer after she was refused a smear test by doctors nine times, because she was under 25.

Jess Evans' mother is now campaigning to make doctors and members of the public aware of the symptoms.

Marie Evans has also started an e-petition to give under 25s with the cancer symptoms the choice as to whether they are tested.

The NHS say screening women under 25 would do more harm than good as abnormalities which will normally disappear on their own can be picked up.
