I had my smear in Oct ‘23. It showed some form of abnormality, so I was sent to the Colposcopy Unit at my local hospital for a biopsy 2 weeks later. 4 weeks after the biopsy, I got my results - CIN3 high grade cell changes and a LLETZ procedure was needed to treat it. My anxiety after reading that letter was horrendous. I had multiple panic attacks (something I don’t struggle with usually) and I felt very down and depressed thinking the worst. The LLETZ procedure was done on 22nd Dec and wasn’t anywhere near as bad as what I had made it to be in my own head. The doctor who did the procedure said it would be a 4-6 week wait for results but reassured me this procedure has a high success rate. 5 weeks later I got my results - “no abnormality found, your results are going to be discussed at a multidisciplinary meeting and we will write to you with the outcome” … I couldn’t believe it, how could my biopsy show CIN3, the highest grade of cell changes but my LLETZ is completely clear? I got the results of the meeting and they have decided to send me for 6 monthly smears. I’m obviously relieved that I’m in the clear but it has baffled me and I feel like something isn’t quite right. I don’t understand how a biopsy can show such a severe change but then all of a sudden be told there’s nothing there? I want it looking into more if I’m honest, as I can’t find anything online about anyone else having this sort of a result.
