Hello CloBib82

I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling so anxious after your recent cervical screening appointment. It's understandable that you're feeling worried. 

It's good to hear that you've kept up to date with previous screening appointments and that the results have never previously given cause for concern. 

It's important to remember that there could be any number of reasons for the markings that the nurse spotted during your appointment and I'm sure if they had immediate concerns they would have arranged a referral to a specialist or asked a GP to see you sooner. It does sound from what you've said as if the nurse is being proactive in checking things. 

Hopefully the Dr will be able to give you some reassurance when you see them next week and your cervical screening results will bring more good news. 

In the meantime, if you'd like to chat things through with one of our nurses from some support you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

Do let us know how you get on. 

Best wishes,
