TheVoiceOfJoyce In The NY Times article they’re saying women over 65 years don’t need a Pap smear. They’re wrong. I recently survived Endometrial Cancer which is Uterine and Cervical Cancer. Luckily I had a Pap smear and the Cancer had not metastasized. I was told women in their 80’s have endometrial cancer and cervical cancer. I was younger. Take the tests and continue seeing your gynecologist. My Gynecologist at NY Presbyterian recommend regular testing. My 2 cents.
