Hi everyone,

I am just seeking some reasurrance and would like to hear peoples stories.

I had a smear in March after a long time (I honestly don't remember when) I'm 28 now but I do remember getting a letter to book my smear before I went travelling in 2018 and I paid no attention to it.  Something was telling me to get it, I sometimes bled after sex, it was quite painful for a few hours after and I currently have ALOT of discharge, when my partner checked he thought I had cream down there (TMI, sorry).  Anyway, decided to book in for a smear, results came back low grade with HPV and had my colposcopy today and they took a biopsy.

My question is, even though initially tested low-grade is, could this be early cancer? Is there any posibilty at all?

The student nurse told me I could have a look if I liked so I did and seen a rather large area of white, in which I looked away.  Further on I went to look again and the nurse said no, don't look now which I know was because I was clearly uncomfortable with the whole thing.

I do realise I am over thinking but I find it hard not to as I started this journey thinking I'll be fine then abnormal smear.  Thinking again I will be fine then they actually took the biopsy and now thinking again, I will be fine.... 

Hopefully some stories will help ease my mind.
