Hello Dee1900 and thanks for your post,

I would check with your oncology team. They may want you to wait until you have finished all your chemotherapy and your blood count has had a chance to recover. There is always the potential risk of infection.

Breast Cancer Now had the same discussion on their forum about having a smear test whilst on chemo

You could give your Breast Care nurse a ring and ask them what they think.

I hope that helps.

Do give us a ring if you want to talk it through with one of the nurses on the helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

All the best,

Catherine
