Abnormal cells!

Hi

I've been browsing here on and off for my brother who was diagnosed with bladder cancer 18 months ago - now my smear has come back with abnormal cells and hpv.  After being told the wait for results was 3 months I get a phone call after 4 weeks with a colcoscopy appointment - talk about surprise! It's good they got back so quick though.  Trouble is you can't stop your mind going to all sorts of different places and it's good to know that's normal from what I've been reading and I'm not going mad! Thanks guys.

    Hi Dizzy,

    Welcome to our forum The way you are feeling is perfectly normal. The unknown is a horrible place to be and, most of us tend to think the worst until we get a positive diagnosis. Fortunately, things seldom turn out to be that bad.

    I am glad to hear that you have now got a colcoscopy appointment and, hope that it is quite soon. Don't lay any store by getting your appointment earlier than you expected, some hospitals try to clear as much backlog as possible before the holiday period.

    I hope that you get your results soon and that there is nothing untoward found.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Thank you for that reply, it means a lot especially when you can't tell your family just yet.

    The appointments the 23rd

    H Dizzy,

    Most people don't tell their families until they have got their results through. The 23rd is not that far away, so hopefully you'll know soon.

    Kind regards,
