Borderline changes smear

I'm 24, I have a nearly 7 year old and a 4 months old baby. I had a smear which I paid for privately in feb 2018 as I had constant pelvic pain, unusual discharge and my period were very irregular. It came back as no changes to cells but hpv positive. I went to the doctors and they kept just saying it was pelvic inflammatory disease and putting me on more and more antibiotics. In total I was on antibiotics for two months and nothing changed, I got fed up of being fobbed off and gave up. They told me it was ibs. Fast forward to now, I had my appointment for my first smear with the nhs in January. I received a letter two weeks later saying that there is borderline changes and hpv positive and the same day received a letter for an appointment at the hospital for further investigation. I'm really worrying and can't stop thinking about it, my mum passed away nearly a year ago of cancer and although it was bowel cancer not cervical I'm still panicking as I looked after her and seen what she went through. I suppose I'm just looking for someone to talk about it to and if anyone has any similar stories. I'm really worried as it's been going on since 2018 and I'm scared it's going to be bad news.
