  • Hello Emmah30

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some health concerns recently. I hope that the nurse was able to offer you some reassurance and answer your questions when they rang you yesterday. 

    Do let us know if you still have concerns and we'll do our best to signpost you to some support. 

    Best wishes,

  • Hi thank you for replying. 

    The nurse informed me that I have HPV but my cells are normal at the moment so I go back in a year to see if that's gone or my cells are changed. I'm confused on how long I may of had it for and worried that I have it. 
    can I just say what a wonderful job everyone does on here 

    just to have someone to talk is a massive thing and I've noticed myself just reading some of peoples things and people being there for surport has made me come away positive 

    well done ! Xx

  • Hi Emma, 

    Deciphering screening results can be confusing sometimes but I hope this information we have on our wesbite will help. We also have a page about HPV but it may be worth having a look at the HPV FAQs on Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust.

    If you'd like to have a chat with one of our cancer nurses about your HPV concerns then do give them a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and will do what they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.

    I'm really glad you're finding the forum a helpful and positive place to be and I hope it continues to be a source of support and strength for you at this time.

    Kind regards,
