Repeat smear

My daughter had cin 1 in 2021 she had a repeat in aug last yr which came back negative. She is to return on 3yr. I read that cells can be missed and I'm worried 3yr is too long incase they missed something. Could we ask for another smear this year just incase or am.i being silly. I'm so scared incase they missed and it progresses 

  • Hi TraceyN,

    Try to take some reassurance from the results your daughter had following the last appointment. I know it can be difficult, but try to rest assured that the doctors would have recommended a different course of action, or more regular monitoring, if they had any concerns.

    However if you feel you'd like further peace of mind then you can of course give the doctor a call to talk things through.

    All the best,
