A member asked:
Having been a "des" baby and cervical cancer in family should i wait for insurance before first pap in 6 years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
DES cancer risk: That is a tough question to answer, because you don't want to wait to long, but if you have an abnormal pap smear before you get insurance, that might be a "pre-existing condition" for some insurance companies. The best thing is either to get insurance now, or see what options are available in your community for a free exam (susan g komen, planned parenthood, free clinics).
