Hi Ava,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

Waiting for results is always an anxious time. When did you have your biopsy? It usually takes 1-2 weeks to get results, but is taking a little longer at present in some places, due to the Christmas/New Year holidays. Our overactive imaginations tend to lead us to all sorts of dark places and it is always a challenge to deal with the "unknown".  This will be an overriding thought until you get the result. Try to steer clear of Google and keep yourself preoccupied with other things in the meanwhile. Here's hoping that all turns out to be benign.

Please keep in touch and let us know the outcome. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hi, 

Thank you so much for your kind reply! 
I had my biopsy and ultrasound last Thursday. 
I feel like all I’m doing is waiting for a phone call/ checking if the post has been/checking my NHS app.

Hello, 

Thanks so much for your reply. This is really helpful information. I will just have to keep myself distracted whilst I wait for some contact from the hospital!

Update- my ultrasound results came back, and everything was normal. I received a letter from the specialist, and she said that she is waiting for my biopsy results and will update me with the plan. Not sure how to feel 

Hi Ava,

This is great news. Here's hoping that your biopsy results are benign and this is just a simple case of erosion, which is a fairly common complaint. How have things been since your last cauterisation?

I am keeping my fingers crossed for more good news.

Hello, I had my first cauterisation last April, the bleeding stopped and started again in November. However, the pains during sex, and lower back and pelvic pain started in about June.

Thank you so much for your kind words, they’re really appreciate,

Hi Ava,

I am sorry to hear that cauterisation hasn't stopped your symptoms. Have you had your biopsy results yet?

Kind regards,

Hello!

I had a letter from the specialist a week ago, and it said that my ultrasound results showed a healthy uterus, so there were no obvious reasons for the pain I have been experiencing. She said she is awaiting my biopsy results and will then let me know the follow-up plan. I haven't received them yet, though. 

Thanks,

Hi Ava,

Your biopsy results shouldn't take much longer. I am sure that you are very anxious to find out the results and I hope that nothing untoward is found. I know that this leaves you back at square one with regard to the pain, but surely there must be another cause?

Please let us know when you get the results. As you know, we are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hi, 

Thank you again for your kind reply. I was hoping that my ultrasound showed something (I don’t wish any kind of illness on myself) but at least if something came up on that, I would know the cause. I’m now thinking that I’m not going to get very positive biopsy results. 

The wait has been awful.  

Thanks

Hi Ava,

I would probably feel the same as you, but there may well be other causes that are not cancer. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for more favourable results than you expect. This is always an anxious wait.

Kind regards,

Hello, 

Thank you again for your kind reply. I’m still waiting for my biopsy results, however I’ve had a letter today which states I have a review appointment in August. The letter didn’t really detail much but I googled it and it says that it’s to check that the cervix has healed, the issue hasn’t returned and to discuss and biopsy results. 

thanks

Hi Ava,

This sounds hopeful. It would suggest that your biopsy is also clear. However if it were me, I would still want to know for certain before August. This seems an awful long time to wait for your biopsy results. It would be worth phoning your specialist nurse to see if she can get the results for you before then.

I sincerely hope that everything heals well this time. Please let us know how you get on. 

Kind regards,

Hello, I had my biopsy results today. I have low-grade pre-cancerous cells. I am going to have them monitored. I have a third colposcopy in August as well as a smear test. Feeling really good (I think anyway!). Thank you for all of your support xx

Hi Ava,

This is great news. I am so glad to hear that your biopsy results were so much better than you expected. I expect that you're feeling extremely relieved  and I hope that things settle down for you now. Do please keep in touch and let us know how your colposcopy and smear test go in August.

Kind regards,
