I try not to dwell on my missed signs….. We made decisions on what seemed to make sense at the time.
The only regret I have is that I followed the Medicare guidelines of no PAP after age 65 because I think my cancer would have been caught a year earlier had I gone for the gyn exam. That Medicare rule does a disservice to older women, especially with knowing that uterine cancers are very often a disease of this age group and that the incidence is rising.
