HPV positive and High grade (moderate) dyskariosys

Hi Ladies. There are loads of posts from a long time but I am in need to join it now with a big hope that one of you will reply to me and help me with my anxiety :(

I did my EVER first Smear test a couple of weeks ago and I am 28. I have no children. I had no bleeding in between but I do have back pain - I suspect because of my office job. Also, I am a very stressful person when it comes to problems. 

The smear result came back as HPV positive and High Grade (moderate) dyskaryosis.

I read a lot on the internet about it before my colposcopy on 2nd March. But it scared me more. 

I've been stressed and out of my mind since my smear results came through the post. I can't even speak because I am speechless. I have chest pain from all the stress and am not being able to eat properly. 

I attended my colposcopy on 2nd March and the doctor examined me and told me she did not see anything precancerous. Also, she told me if I had already cancer, she would see something else at the colposcopy.

Once I got dressed and was able to talk to Doctor she told me that she is predicting between CN1 or CN2. She took my Biopsy and I am waiting for the results. 

I am very stressed because it is my first smear ever and I am crying because of the results. 

The Question I want to really ask. If the cancer was there, it would be seen as the Doctor told me?

I do trust the Doctor she was amazing and she said she didn't see anything cancerous but the biopsy was taken and there was no treatment offered during colposcopy. 

If it was anything dangerous, would they let me go just like that? Or should I trust my Doctor as she told me she sees this thing every day and would spot it if cancer was present???? 

Please, if anyone is available to reach out to me for some conversational support? 

Thank you.

  • Hi dear Nike4. 

     

    I am so sorry to hear your story, and I do know 100% it is hard case you deal with. 

    Let me tell you something, I was going crazy when I had my results and had to wait for my colposcopy. I was crying days and nights , Minska knows how bad I was if you look around my posts a few months back. 

    Originally I had HPV positive and high grade moderate, did colposcopy and the lady told me she did not see cancer but I still was concerned until biospy results arrived. I was told I might need the treatment and to be prepared.  When the results from biospy arrived they send me a letter for a check up after 6 months and told me that it is not high grade but low grade CIN1 I believe it is. 

    I am going for another check up in a months time. 

     

    I would suggest don't be scared , you are been watched now and if in bad case scenario in years time we will get something like 'C' but hopefully not, it will be prevented as that's why we are having those check up every 6 months if you don't have treatment straight away. 

    My sister also got it. Any many other femaly relatives and friends had it and don't have it anymore. 

    It's scary and I couldn't believe that I have it but I had to admit it and stay strong. 

    Right now, I don't think anymore about it. I have check up every 6 months and I am sure they will look after us. 

    If you have not gone for this check up than you should worry you might get 'C' but since you are already in the progmar with them, they will look after you. 

     

    I know from other people that sometimes from CIN1 you can go up to CIN2 depends how your body fight the infection but it is all preventable and it's a little % that you can get 'C' at all. 

    I did freak out alot and was in A&E like 3 times and visited GP like 15 times in a month, I had severe anxiety, I was calling off sick from work. But now I am good, I know we are strong and just make sure you follow up with your appointments and all will be good. 

    Lovely lady, please don't stress for no reason, I wasted 3 months of my life stressing and crying. And now I am super happy I am in their system and eventually HPV will go, but it will not get worst as NHS looks after us. 

    I was also so upset I never checked before and did not know about this desease and did not prevent it. There is 100 of us who is the same position. 

     

    Ladies here have helped me to go through difficult time, especially Minska. 

  • Nike4 , I wish you all the best. I am here for you anytime. 

    Talk to me, I know it's very difficult to speak with your friends and relatives, I found it difficult too. But, we are here for you, because we know how you feel.

  • I am touched by your response. It is relieving to know that i am not alone with this feelings. I went to cervical screeening just because it was offered and i was shocked that i had all these in a month or so. I never thought i would experience such a thing! And definitely i was poorly informed about it. Now i know a lot better. The cancer possibilities are scary and it is upsetting that there is no solution for hpv. Even though it is very common. I am trying to spread awareness to women around me. Encourage them to do screening and vaccination. It is not healthy that nobody really talks about it. 

    Thank you for your support. I will certainly attend all my examinations and be careful for my health!

    I hope you get rid of this forever.

  • Hey Nike4 

     

    I am happy to hear that you are not as much concerned

    With me the same, they send me a letter that I should do a smear test and I went thinking why not. When I got the letter saying HPV and high grade and possibility of Cancer, I freaked out the same minute and thought how come, did I have it for all this year's , when did I get it ... All this kind of staff. But unfortunately we can't even find out from where we get it and how long we have it. ‍

    Unfortunately there is no solution for this type of desease and the only thing will help is to keep your immune system in good healthy range and it should go. In my situation, I have a very stressful job and hard to say if my body is good enough to fight it off as I am anxious person and under stress consistently. 

    For you, I am pretty sure you are strong and young and healthy. You will fight it and hopefully all of us who has got it , will fight it off. 

    Just like you, I also talk to woman and ask them if they done this screening and if they say no, I do recommend as we never know. You basically can be healthy but still have it. Maybe from sexual contact, maybe from the birth passed on from the monther or maybe accidentally pick it up in public toilets that's what I thought  

    It took me 3 months to calm down and start my life again. I asked doctor google so much about this and doctor google just caused me more stress. 

    PLEASE HUNNY, DO NOT ASK DOCTOR GOOGLE. That was my huge mistake. Now I am avoiding google and News papers in case I see cancer stories I freak out even nowadays. 

    I am happy to speak with you any day, any time. If you do feel like you want to talk or ask questions, I have learned quiet alot about it and happy to assist, but don't ask doctor google, ask me please or any other lady on this website. 

    This website is really good and everything what is said on her, is genuine. 

    Take care lovely and NO STRESS! 

    If you don't mind, when you get your results, share with me please I am 100% sure they will be positive, and you will later get over it quickly and get use to life with HPV, but I guarantee you will fight it off quickly. You are 27 , I am 28. We are young and beautiful, the god won't upset us. The god will make sure you are safe. Xxx
