My best friend gets a yearly pap. This year when she went in somehow she had stage 4 dysplasia, one step away from cancer. She had to have surgery. Now tell me, if this is so slow growing, how did she get to stage 4? There is no way in hell I would skip a pap. Maybe you won't have cervical cancer, but what if you have ovarian ...
