I had my insurance label a Pap smear as experimental because my doc gave me one due to my symptoms when I was not due for one and it came back normal. Gee sorry insurance guy that potential cancer had the audacity to not wait until I was eligible for my pap.
At one point they were doing them yearly for me, than the guidelines changed and now they only do it every x-number of years (I forget if it's 3 or 5).
Same for me. And it seems very weird to wait so long in between appointments but I was told I was low risk which idk what that means because you don’t need to have family history to get cancer.
My mom & her sister both had breast cancer so I'm considered high risk. I'm 35 and they won't do the mammograms because I am not 40. I had an order to get one last year & never got it because it wasn't covered until age 40.
