Hi Lucy, 

Lots of ladies post here on the forum worried about results that come back from their cervical screening test so please don't feel that you are alone. 

If you use the search function (magnifying glass in the blue bar at the top of the page) you'll be able to read through lots of different posts. 

An abnormal cervical screening test result means that you have changes in the cells covering the neck of your womb (cervix). These changes are not cancer. The cells often go back to normal by themselves. But in some women, if not treated, these changes could develop into cancer in the future. We've lots of information on our website here which will explain things in more depth for  you. 

Our team of nurses are also very well versed in this area so you might like to give them a call and chat through your concerns with them. they are available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

I hope that you don't have to wait too long for your appointment. 

best wishes, 
Jenn
