Host Laura Boyd is joined by Vikki Ridler, who shares her story of being diagnosed with cervical cancer at the age of 27 - just days before her birthday. Vikki talks openly about routine smear tests, early cell changes, the shock of diagnosis, and the reality of surgery and recovery as a young mum. She also reflects on life after cancer, advocating for cervical screening, finding new purpose in work, and the support she found at The Beatson.
