Hello, and thanks for your post,

I am sorry to hear that you are waiting for results and I can imagine that this must be unsettling for you. There are many conditions far less serious than cancer that may be the cause of the lumps but it is not until you get the results that the doctor will be able to tell you any more. They probably could not give you any explanation as they were in the first instance waiting for the results of the smear.

Try and keep yourself busy and your mind on other things whilst you wait. The NHS have a website called 'Every Mind Matters' which has helpful suggestions when you are feeling anxious. Have a look here

Even though it is helpful to hear from other members of the forum everyone is different so it is difficult to compare one person with another. Keep an open mind.

I hope you know more soon.

all the best,

Catherine

Thank you for your reply Catherine, I appreciate your time. I am definitely trying to keep an open mind and hopefully won't have to wait too long for results- whatever they may be.
