Hello Freya and welcome to the forum.

First of all, I just want to say well done for going for your screening. It can be quite a daunting prospect, especially if you've never had one before, so you should be very proud of yourself for mustering up the courage to go. 

I know this is easier said than done but try not to worry about the colposcopy. As you'll see here it's actually quite a common procedure and I'm sure our members who have had this done will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

Our team of nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m if you'd like to have a chat with them about this as well.

I hope this helps and your colposcopy goes well when the time comes.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
