Presenter Hannah Fry said she feels unbelievably lucky after receiving a five-year clear following a hysterectomy in her thirties for cervical cancer. Fry told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs that cancerous cells were found after a 2020 cervical screening, which she had delayed for months, and that a biopsy showed the disease had reached her lymphatic system. She said a surgeon later found four of her lymph nodes enlarged, and she described the hospital isolation after her hysterectomy as horrific, saying she was 36 at the time and had her two young daughters to think about. She added that she would not swap the experience, calling it a gift to have come through it.
