Hello Lilsu
I'm sorry to hear that your recent cervical screening results have left you feeling so anxious. It's good to hear that the team have already arranged a colposcopy appointment for you and hopefully, within a few days, you will have some clearer answers.
In the meantime, I wanted to share some information from our website about what cervical screening results mean along with some information about colposcopy that you may find helpful ahead of your appointment.
I'd also suggest giving our nurses a call before your appointment to talk things through with them. I'm sure they will be able to offer some support and reassurance to help you. if you'd like to talk with them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.
Do keep in touch and let us know how you get on Lilsu.
Best wishes,
Jenn
