Borederline smear result

Hi eveyone,

I had my first smear test way at the start of June and went the first time with my sister. She received her results in august and I still hadn't. Thankfully I got a phone call the start of December and was informed that my result came back as borderline and that I would have be referred for an appointment for a colposcopy. I still haven't gotten a letter or received anymore information on appointment. I'm not really sure what to do next? Or does anyone know how long it'll be until I get an appointment? I obviously don't want to leave it too long! 
 

thank you x 
 

 

  • Hello there

    I am sorry to hear how long it took for you to get your screening results.

    I would encourage you to call the colposcopy unit and explain your situation to find out how long it may be until you are seen.

    Hopefully everything will be fine despite the delay. Borderline usually means the cells seen in the sample are slightly abnormal to normal cells. These borderline cells usually resolve by themselves without the need for treatment however they will need to take a closer look just to make sure.

    Best wishes
