Ex-glamour model Tracy Kiss is raising awareness of smear tests and cervical cancer

 

In a bold, but brave move, Tracy Kiss, 28, has posted a picture of her cervix to social media in the hope to get women to attend vital smear tests.

The image was posted to coincide with Cervical Cancer Prevention Week running until this Saturday.

The mum-of-two and online blogger - with more than 150,000 followers - revealed the cause is close to her heart.

 

Smear test awareness: Tracy's cervix

 

Just last year, she had to have a biopsy after a smear test showed abnormal cells.

Fortunately, she was given the all clear, but is to undergo a treatment in order for the cells to return to normal.

Writing on her blog she said: “Having this procedure will save my life and many more, let’s please be vigilant and share a kind word of encouragement with friends, cousins, sisters, aunts and mothers to make sure they have all had theirs.

 

The mum-of-two is also an avid health campaigner

 

“You cannot put a price on life and sadly no amount of embarrassment, fear or regret can ever bring you back from the grave.

“At the age of 28 I never would have thought that something like this could happen to me, I thought irregular bleeding, period cramps that linger and back ache was just a sign of getting old and having children but it’s not. You know in yourself when something isn’t right and when your body isn’t behaving as normal.

“A quick smear test could save your life and I’m incredibly thankful that I had mine.”

  

Attending a cervical smear test could save the lives of many women

 

Ms Kiss is an avid health campaigner and has raised money for many charities.

This includes giving a topless photos to people and writing erotic novels in return for charity donations.

According to Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust, over 3,000 women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer every year. It is the most common cancer in women aged 35 and under.

It is thought that up to 93 per cent of cervical cancers are preventable.
