High grade dyskaryosis?

Hello,

 

i had had a letter saying I have abnormal cells, followed with a letter saying that it is high grade dyskaryosis... Colposcopy a week today and also biopsy? I'm absolutely bricking it! I should have had my first smear 4 years ago so really panicking that it's been like this a while (whilst also kicking myself!)

has anyone else been through the same? X

    5 weeks tomorrow, no results and now being told more like 9 weeks not 7 (or the initial 3-4!)They are only just doing results from biopsys taken mid April! Absolute joke...

     

    really  pleased you you got the all clear! X

    Mine says the same too :(

    I'd completely forgotten about smear results though, so the letter came as a shock to say the least.

    It really feels like im dealing with this on my own, keep having vivid nightmares because my minds working overdrive!! :(

    Still don't have my appointment date yet either, so i guess i'll have to get used to all the waiting!!

    Hi. I had my routine smear (27/4/17). Results back 4 weeks later as abnormal result. All other smears from the last 12 years have been normal although I have had occasional spotting over the last year. ( I'm 39). I didn't worry too much and have read up a little but I spoke to the nurse at my gp's surgery today and she initially tried to get out of giving me more detail about my result ( she knows I suffer anxiety) but after pushing her on it, she told me I have high grade dyskaryosis, not to worry and that I will need treatment and more frequent smears as follow up. Once I got off the phone, I immediately burst into floods of tears and have only just calmed down. I have a colposcopy appointment for the 19th June but there's a good chance I'll have my period so you can bet it won't be that soon. My mum died of cancer at 46 and my father is a worrier so I just can't tell him. I'm a single mother to 3 girls, the youngest being disabled and I'm just terrified for them even though I'm trying so hard to keep a level head. This isn't doing my mental health any favours and I just wanted to say you're not alone if you're suffering the same result as me. 

    Im just gonna get drunk I think!  Xx

    So I have been having smear tests every 6/12 months for the last 11 years, I've had 2 colposcopies (one under local and one under general anaesthetic) and the gardisil injections (I don't have children), my latest smear came back with abnormal cells again and at the moment they are low grade cells. Went back to see my consultant yesterday to be told that I need to crack on and have kids because if/when the cells become high grade I will have no other option but to have a hysterectomy. My family and friends struggle to know what to say and make jokes or give platitudes or say things like 'well you can always adopt'. So now I have to wait 10 months before I can have another smear (because they won't test me again before December) so we will see what happens. My attitude towards this has always been the same, no point worrying about something you can't change but this time I'm struggling, I've always tried to be positive but it's so hard. I guess the truth is I told people I didn't want kids but deep down I do and now I'm at a crossroads as to what to do for the best......let the research begin to see what my options are. I hope those of you waiting for results or ops have a good outcome.
