good precise information about Pap smears and other tests

This is a reference book but it is easy to read as it follows a whole raft of people family and friends through essential tests like Paps, blood screening for cholesterol, diabetes screening, all things women especially older women need. Kind of a library book but would be a good reference book in the home especially where there are older parents.I read through the whole thing in a couple of days and found it informative especially the section on genetic testing.
