Red cells during test

Hi all, just got back from my first smear test and the nurse who was doing it had to get the doctor to come in during which put me on edge straight away, the doctor said that the cells are very red and that she is going to send the info to the hospital.She said the hospital might call me in or wait for the rest results. But im just filled with worry now  its hard to think about anything else.

  • Hi Ddmurra,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I understand your worry and how you're feeling - any uncertainty like this can be difficult, as can waiting for information. I hope you find out the results soon. In the meantime, try not to dwell on it and perhaps try to do anything that is distracting or that puts you at ease. I know this can be easier said than done.

    If you'd like to discuss anything with our nurses, they're available on freephone 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).

    Wishing you all the best.
