smear results

hi so i recieved my smear results yesterday and it says i am hpv positive which is fine i understand thats common but it also says when they test for abnormalities my cervical cells show changes so i have been referred for an urgent colposcopy within the next 2 weeks! this is my absolute biggest fear, i lost my 41 year old husband nearly a year ago to aggressive high grade b cell lymphoma in his bone marrow and i have 2 small children (2&5). the nurse who did my smear said i have an ectropian cervix which used to bleed quite often after intercoarse when my husband was alive. has any1 had this also with the cervix issue and it not been cancer? i really need a bit of hope here but im thinking the worst and i cant stop it. thankyou so much for reading x

    Hello I wanted to offer you some reassurance. Firstly I’m so sorry for the loss of your husband, I lost my brother this year aged 39 and send you a big hug. I too had an abnormal smear with positive HPV in between having my children, had the colonoscopy and had to have some cells removed. I also had pain and bleeding when I had sex. It’s such a long process I’m sorry you’re really going through it. I’ve had normal smears since, along with a worrying one last year which turned out to be just fine. It’s so hard, I had to wait over a year for mine and got my results just a few weeks after the loss of my brother. Here if you need a chat, stay strong and try not to overthink it (easier said than done I know) xx
