Hélène Hendriks made a big blunder against Loiza Lamers in her talk show, namely by asking her whether she has ever had a smear test made. “Yes, I don’t have to, honey,” she says.
The news that Emma Heesters’ cervical cancer has spread came as a bombshell. It was also discussed in the talk show last night The Orange Winter. “I was so shocked that metastases were found,” notes studio guest Tina Nijkamp. “She also says: ‘Have your smear test done’, and I find it so intense.”
‘Very important’
Emma turns 29 years old tomorrow. “So I don’t think she will even get a call for that population survey yet, but it is very important to do that,” says Tina.
“I have a lot of fears about doctors and hospitals, so when I get it I also think: ooooo, then I would like to postpone it for a while, but I think it is very important that we as women always do that.”
Last time
Hostess Hélène then asks Tina when she last had a smear test done. “When was the last time you went?”
Tina: “Ehh, well, that was already two years ago.”
Hélène: “So that has to be done every year, right?”
Jack van Gelder: “No, no.”
Tina: “No, every five years.”
Loiza blunder
Hélène then turns to fellow guest Loiza Lamers, who was born with the physical sexual characteristics of a boy. “Oh, every five years. Okay. And you?”
Loiza responds very wittily. “Yes, I don’t have to honey.”
Hélène: “Oh no, that’s true!”
Loiza: “Hahahaha.”
Hélène: “Hahahaha.”
Loiza: “I don’t have to be afraid of this, but thank you.”
Hélène: “Yes, you are right about that.”
Look away
Jack also calls on men to get tested. “What is also very important for my age group is that men also have their PSA checked, because prostate cancer is also very common. That is also a silent killer and people should do that much more.”
“You have to do an MOT for your car every three years, but you? That’s looking away…”
