Hi, new to this site. 

I have been fast tracked to my local gynecology department with possible suspected cervical cancer. I went to my GP a few weeks ago after bleeding and they removed what she thought was a polyp  but said I should go back in like 2 weeks because she couldn't see behind it and then it started bleeding. Anyway, I went back on Monday and we thought everything would be fine but now I've had an urgent referal with suspected cervical cancer. 

Its a massive shock that I wasn't expecting and I'm not quite sure how to process it. I'm 22, doing my PGCE and I've been vacinated against HPV (which I was told was to prevent this). Despite having epilepsy and some kidney issues when I was little, I'm healthy and active and this has been a massive shock. I have't really told many people, just my sister, best friend and my boyfriend, none of them who I feel I can talk about it with. My boyfriends dad died of cancer a few years ago (before I met him) and I know he is finding this really tough and I don't feel like I can talk about my fears etc to him, my sister is devestated but she's the other end of the country and I don't want to worry her too much, which is why I haven't mentioned it to my mum and my best friends told me not to think about it (which is pretty hard).

Both my aunt and my grandma had cervical cancer, and epilepsy, and I'm wondering if there is some sort of link? They are both on my dad's side and my mums always told me that because it's his side, it won't affect me or my sister, but I'm really worried because although my aunt survived it, my grandma didn't (she died over 30 years ago, way before I was born) and neither of them had it this young. I'm just really worried about it all, like I'm just starting to live my best life and then this happened. I'm worried about uni, I'm worried what my family will say/worry and I'm worried about what will happen if I do have cancer. I'm worried I'll never be able to-do things I want to, like go travelling, own my own cat (stupid I know, but I want one of my own) or have kids.

Any advice?
