Confusing Colposcopy Biopsy Results/Letter

Following my smear on the 01/10/21 and then biopsy on 08/11/2021 because I have had Hpv detected 3 years runnin, today I finallh received a letter today saying 
“Following a cervical screening test reported as HR HPV Cyto neg x3 on 01/10/2021 the biopsy that was performed Following a cervical screening test reported as HR HPV Cyto neg x3 on 01/10/2021 the biopsy that was performed only sampled one cell type. We would like to see you back in 3 months to ensure we biopsy both cell types.
It is important we wait for 3 months so that your cervix heals between biopsies. only sampled one cell type. We would like to see you back in 3 months to ensure we biopsy both cell types. It is important we wait for 3 months so that your cervix heals between biopsies.”

I have an appointment for 21/02/2022 for the next biopsy. I’m so confused as to why and if this letter is an error, the hospital or my GP can’t give me any answers. I’ve received no results after a 2+ month wait for results to get another biopsy appointment. Does that letter say it’s not high risk hpv but if so why am I going back for another biopsy? I don't understand why the letter is referencing my smear date. Any help much appreciated 

  • Hi Louise621062 and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry for the confusion your results letter has caused and that the hospital and your GP are unable to figure out what's going on.

    Hopefully some of our members will share their thoughts and advice with you soon but whilst you wait it may be worth giving our cancer nurses a call as they're very well versed and knowledgeable in this field and may be able to offer some insight. If you'd like to get in touch with them, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope you're able to get some answers and clarification on this soon and that all goes well at your next appointment in 3 months time.

    All the best,

  • Update - The consultant rang me and explained they only sampled one cell type from the biopsy on 8/11/21 so they want another biopsy in Feb to check other cell type. Seems like someone might have made an error to me.
