I've had mild dyskaryosis (CIN1) with high risk HPV for more than ten years and have been attending colposcopies every 6 months (the last time I had this result was in September 2024). The hospital then scheduled me in for my next appointment nine months later instead of the usual 6 months. I went and had this done in June. They did a smear and biopsy at the same time. My results came back as CIN3. I was informed at the time that my treatment would be a LLETZ procedure and would be marked as urgent. I only received a call a few days ago to say that they will schedule me in for the 15th August and they stressed again how urgent this was so I cancelled my plans to go abroad on the 20th as I can't fly for four weeks. they said I should have been scheduled much earlier but somehow I was missed from the urgent list. I asked if this urgency was because my results showed something more but was told they would only be able to see this during the procedure as it may not have been picked up on my biopsy/colposcopy. I was also originally told it may be 16/18 but today I spoke to them again and was told it is HPV 58. Would this have progressed to invasive cancer in this timeframe? I am confused, worried and extremely anxious. I am a smoker and trying so hard to give up but they stress isn't helping and I can only manage to cut down to 3 a day at the moment
