Hi there and thanks for the post

Firstly I am sorry to hear you lost your mum a few years ago to cancer and I can appreciate how getting an appointment sooner than you expected is causing you to worry, following your colposcopy.

Whilst no one here can say what the appointment is about please try not to over think things for now. In colposcopy they stain the cervix to reveal any abnormal areas and the nurses and doctors working in these departments are usually very experienced at looking at the appearance of the cervix. However the abnormal areas removed during the LLETZ are sent off to the lab to be closely examined just to check no further treatment is needed.

It is rare for cervical cancer to be diagnosed through cervical screening but on the odd occasion that it is, it is usually caught at an early stage where it can still be successfully treated.

As I say no one here or anywhere else apart from the colposcopy clinic can tell you what has or hasn't been found and what needs to happen next, so keep yourself busy with your children and hang in there a little longer.

If you need to give us a call feel free to do so. We're here week days 9-5 on 0808 800 4040.

I really hope your appointment goes well and that everything turns out ok.

Best wishes

Naomi
