Marta Jansone, a well-known figure in Latvia's cultural and hospitality scenes, has shared her experience with cervical cancer. The illness was discovered a year ago and was caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). For Jansone, the diagnosis came as a complete shock.

As the publication's headline suggests, she reflects on a common tendency to rush through life assuming serious health problems will not affect us. Jansone underwent surgery after the discovery. Her story is now a reminder about the importance of regular check-ups and early detection.

In addition to managing the pub 'Jautrais Briedis', Jansone performs at the Dramaturgu Theatre and sings in the group 'Cilvēki no malas'. By speaking publicly about her diagnosis, she highlights how a busy lifestyle can lead people to overlook their health. Her openness may encourage others to take preventive measures and not postpone medical consultations, emphasizing that no one is immune to such diseases.
