Has anyone on here had LLETZ treatment more than once?

Hiya I've had LLETZ treatment 6 months ago. Had my 6 month routine smear and it come back saying I had abnormal cells again and I needed a coloscopy to check them out again. How many times will they remove cells? And what happens next if they come back for a second time? 

  • Hello Rose93

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been told you have abnormal cells again following your recent cervical screening. It's understandably a worrying time for you. 

    You might find it helpful to have a look at this information on the Jo's Trust website. You could also give their team a call to chat through your concerns. I'm sure they will be able to offer you some support and reassurance ahead of your next appointment. 

    I hope this helps. 

    Best wishes,

  • Hi Rose93. How are you ? I have my appointment for second loop diathermy on Friday ( 2 of July) . Did you have yours already? I had cin 3 last December and first loop diathermy 4th of January as emergency treatment . Then colposcopy and biopsy which showed CIN 1 from biopsy and still cin 3 from smear . Bit confused and scared now :( greetings xx
