Exactly. And I'm just now hearing that (within the last year or so). My mom had cervical cancer when she was about 30, right after she had my little sister. And back then they did a whole hysterectomy and she went into menopause, then got it in her head that she needed the synthetic estrogen FOR YEARS, until she got breast cancer in her 70s. But back when I was in my 20s, my OB had me come in twice a year for paps BECAUSE Mom had cervical cancer. Now we know it's not hereditary. (And honestly, what cancer can we say is actually hereditary?). I didn't go in for almost 3 years during all this covid shit. Just forgot. But I went in last month and saw the PA, it's always better with the PA than the actual OB, and she told me I didn't even need to come in once a year!
