Discussion Forums and Personal Anecdotes

....from the horse's mouth, as it were...most women's websites will have a thread going on screening and personal experiences, these are just a small sample.

Very good forum discussing patient privacy and consent. Many of the articles posted on this site originally were posted on that forum by the members (many thanks, ladies and gentleman!)
