The satisfaction of knowing their status and nipping cervical cancer in the bud if tested positive, was what drove many women of Rupununi, Region 9 to take advantage of a two-day screening and awareness exercise.
Carol Fiedtkou who lives at Tabatinga, a few villages away, was among the women who were screened through Pap smears when the Cancer Institute of Guyana (CIG) took its clinic to the Lethem Hospital last on September 8 and 9.
Fiedtkou learnt about the cancer camp through a notice posted at the shopping mall and did not want to miss the opportunity.
