She Beat Cancer Series - Abisola Ipadeola
In 2009, Abisola stopped by her hospital and had a routine Pap test done. That decision saved her life.⠀

Further testing showed that she had cervical cancer.⠀
Today, she is cancer free and strongly advocates that women should get their cervical screening tests done.
