Hi Lily,

I am sorry you are going through this but I am glad you are being proactive in taking care of your health. Take it one day, one appointment, one result at a time. HPV is pretty common, I had it, too. I was told to build up my immune system as best I could, take vitamins, get rest, etc. Also, if you smoke, quit! 

Keep me posted on how things progress for you.

I am on day 11 of urgent referral 

I use nicotine lozenges 

I am really stuck on them... you said stop smoking do you think I should stop these too? I am also in bits but can't let my son know he's just lost his dad. 
 

this is hell. My hospital said no garuntee of being seen in 2 weeks. 
 

sorry so negative today x

I am sorry you are feeling so negative, I hope you get the answers you need soon

Hi Little Fluffy,

I'm not a doctor but I'd say you probably don't need to quit the lozenges, especially if they help you not smoke. As far as the days of waiting, my non-medical opinion is that a few weeks or even a month won't make that much difference in outcome. I hadn't been to a doctor in over 15 years when I was diagnosed with stage 2A cervical cancer. That was 10 years ago. Everyone's situation is different, but I'd try to stop worrying about the timing, stay off google and just try your best to be as healthy as you can be.  
 

Good luck to you and keep us posted on how you are doing!

Laura xx
