Hi I’m new and terrified

Hi, 

I'm 38, have no bio children ( but two step daughters) and I'm petrified. 
 

had a Boaderline Ovarian Tunour removed about two years ago. They also took the ovary. 
 

my mum died at 38, heart attack. My maternal grandmother had non Hodgkin's lymphoma. She also died of a heart attack. 
 

here I am. 38, one ovary, no Fallopian tubes, a womb that has one side of its blood cut off, some minor autoimmune issue, with now two abnormal smear tests. 
I am being sent for a colposcopy next week. 
Currently hiding from stepkids crying. I'm absolutely terrified. Not about the colposcopy. More about what that finds. What they probably will do. 
 

that's it, not sure what else to write. Also feel like a fraud for positing on here. 
 

  • Hi Hattie,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. You are certainly no fraud. All of our imaginations go into 'what if' mode at this stage and then they go nto overdrive. Don't worry about the crying at the moment. Many of us get very tearful, but remember that these are there to help to reduce the stress that you are under.

    What ages are your stepkids? We all worry when we have children, but they are very resiliant. I sincerely hope that all goes well with your colposcopy next week. Try not to let your magination run away with you. You may not need any further treatment at all and, if you do, you will get through it.

    Please let us know how you get on. we are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
