Hi there I'm Laura this is my first post 

I just wanted to ask advice please as to what my symptoms could be (I know I should just wait for my appointment but I'd just like a bit of advice)

My history 

abnormal smear 12 years ago which was CIN 3 and I had a LOOP excision 

I've since had clear smears 

in Oct I started to bleed inbetween periods so went the docs in dec they tried to see my cervix but I was on my period that day so advised me to come back 

fast foward to last week I went back and the nurse said my cervix has ectropian and looked like the cells where coming for inside to outside and it looked red 

She has sent me for a 2 week referral which has me a bit worried as I know they only do that If they suspect cancer 

this appointment is on Tuesday and I am booked to see a gynaecologist cancer specialist 

my symptoms are 

bleeding between periods ( 4 months )

pain on my left side abdo low down 

pain in left leg 

Low back pain which comes and goes 

On a scan within the last year it said I have a enlarged uterus and small kidney cyst but didn't seem a problem as nothing was said to me I just read this on my letter 

I had swabs the other week when she looked at my cervix which have come back clear ( I know she swabbed for chlamydia not sure what else ) 

my blood test came back that my hormone levels are normal but I have high cholesterol 

I'm trying not to freak out too much but just wanted a bit of advice please 

I'm 41 with 2 children 

thanks Laura xx
