Colposcopy

My wife had her results from a smear test which came as high risk hpv and borderline changes to the cells. She the received a letter inviting for a colposcopy with a gynaecologist oncology. Does this mean they have found Cancer because she if being seen by a oncologist is just a precaution 

  • Hi Barton007 and welcome to the forum.

    I hope this information we have about smear test results and what a colposcopy entails will help answer your question, but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very knowledgeable in this area, and will do all they can to explain this in more detail and answer any other questions you may have at this time.

    Many of our members have been in the same position as your wife, so hopefully some of them will stop by soon to share their experiences and advice.

    We're thinking of you Barton007 and wishing your wife all the best with her colposcopy when the time comes.

    Kind regards,
