Hi Irina

I’m sorry to see you are worried,but it’s very understandable.

Cancer cannot always be seen, especially if it is microscopic, so it’s really only the biopsy which will give the definitive result. But you doctor will be very experienced in doing these procedures and knows what she is looking at.

When you are young, it’s possible for the abnormal cells to regress without treatment which is likely why you haven’t had treatment yet. You may not need any.

i would recommend that you don’t read stuff on dr google, particularly if you are very anxious, as it will only make you more anxious and will likely not be relevant to you. 

CIN1and CIN2 are not cancer, and your doctor sounds confident you have CIN at some level. Please trust in her judgement, and I hope your biopsy result come back and confirm your doctor’s thoughts. x 

Hi Minska. 

Thank you for reaching back. 

Doctor did sound confident in what she was saying. She predicted the CIN grade and wasn't concerned of anything. She didn't explain me anything about CIN3 or CC only about CIN1 and 2. 

I was thinking alot, is that a bad sign that they haven't offered me any treatment straight away at the Colposcopy as many women had been offered ? Or is because she didn't see anything dangerous? 

If it was very dangerous, she said she would see. So I believe I just need to trust this. I am always thinking of what the doctor told me to keep my mind positive, but it is hard anyway I am thinking of worst.

Hi

Please don't think the worst-you haven’t been told anything bad.

It’s common not to treat a low level of CIN  because the abnormal cells can regress without treatment, so the treatment isn't required. 

Trust your doctor. There was no need for her to talk about CIN3 or cervical cancer because she didn’t see any sign of this. She is the expert and did not see anything of concern, which is good. 

Try to relax. xx

I find it sad to see women worrying so much when they really don’t need to, so I do try and reassure them that what they have is not serious and can be easily treated. 

Don't blame yourself for not going for your smear earlier-the main thing is that you have now had this done and you will be part of the smear screening programme. This means that any abnormal cells will be picked up early, long before they would ever become cancer. That’s a really positive thing! 

I just want to try to help to reassure you that things will be absolutely fine. xx

That's very nice of you and I have read load of your posts and conversations and I can see you've gone through alot and it's kind of you to spend time trying to help others. 

After having a chat with you I do feel little calmer. Times to times it comes in my head but I try to keep myself busy. 

Is it going to be the same doctor I had at the Colposcopy that will be sending me results back, and arranging further treatment if needed ?  Xx

I went outside with family to at least enjoy one night without having nightmares I was wondering can I drink? 

Of course you can drink! There is no reason not to have a drink. Enjoy yourself! 

Sorry, I’m not sure how you will get your results, but I hope you don’t have to wait too long. xx

Thank you you are so kind 

Hopefully I can. Chat to you tomorrow.xx 

Hello Minska and zajufka3 

I hope things are good with your results. I have resembling story. I am 27 years old. Recently, I have been diagnosed with hpv and cin2 moderate cell changes. I had colposcopy confirmation and the doctor took the cells for treatment and sent for the biopsy as well. I am waiting for the results. The doctor told me that it is not cancer. I want to believe her. However, I am aware of the little possibility for it being cancer. This is stressful. I am quite upset not to be aware for the vaccine. It could have been preventative. I hope that now i am young and strong i can deal with it better. The doctor told me the changes are high risk. And i should be careful for the follow ups. She had positive attitute for my case. But i keep finding concerning possibilities. Maybe this wont be a problem now, maybe not for the next 5 years. But how about future? I want to grow old. The first thing though is to have reassuring biopsy result and save the day! I find it hard to communicate other people. And though it would be better to communicate with people who have similar feelings. 

Thanks for being here.

Wish you plenty of healthy-happy years
