Get tested: This is a routine part of women's health. If you don't get it done, you might loose out on a chance to pick up cervical or uterine cancer in the early treatable stages.

Trying to save lives: You thank your doctor for caring enough about your life to offer you the right health care. The saddest day of my medical career was doing a pelvic exam for a patient I had delivered five babies over the years after she had avoided her regular pelvic exams and pap smears to fine a large mass of tumor covering her cervix. She left five babies motherless. Go get your exam and pap smear.
