Hi Jessie, welcome to the forum, but sorry for why you find yourself here. I know that this diagnosis is really new and you haven't yet been able to wrap your head around it, but how you feel is likely how all of us on here with cancer felt when first diagnosed. One time a cancer diagnosis almost always meant a death sentence, but not so these days. Also, you are really young and that is in your favor. It also seems as though you have been diagnosed early on, so that is also good. Because you are newly diagnosed, its' not likely that a treatment plan has been developed for you as yet. Once things start to get set up for you, I think your attitude about this will be more hopeful. Medical people who work in this field are very supportive and will help you get through this. I'm sorry you don't have friends around you, but I hope you do have family for support. I know you say you have small children who depend on you, so believe it or not, they will give you the motivation to get through this. Also, I hope your husband/partner is supportive.

Come on to the forum anytime and welcome the caring and support of people here on the forum. All of us on here with cancer can relate to the emotions that you are experiencing right now. Take care and be sure to let us know how you are getting along.

Sending you hugs.

Hi,

hope ped everyone on this thread is doing well! I just wanted to jump on to ask some questions if that's ok? And maybe put my mind at ease... I'm 27 and last week had my first smear (4 years late - very angry with myself!) it's come back as high grade dyskaryosis and I'm really worried... I'm having a colposcopy on Tuesday morning and biopsy... I just dont know what to expect/think/feel... My periods are a lot lighter than they used to be (heavy for 7 days to very light for a couple of days with clots then a day off then another day light generally - sorry if tmi) I suffer with pelvic cramps a lot that I end up bent double with and haven't been using contraception for 2 years but no pregnancies (don't know if this is related? But my oh and me both have children already) I just wanted to ask if someone who had the same and then ended with the cervical cancer diagnosis could tell me their story really, what happened at colposcopy etc? If it's too sensitive to share that's ok though! Thanks ladies x

ps I also think I have a uti at the moment - my mother in law does home care and dipped my wee today and said yes there's a Uti but also high levels of protein and non visible blood? Could that be related to cervical cancer or the high grade dyskaryosis?
