I went on Thursday for my smear test and the nurse started and straight away said I need a doctor to have a look as it's red and inflamed , the doctor looked and then the nurse did the test then when I was dressed the doctor took me to her room and said that she was referring me in the two week wait and all the doctor kept saying was I am so sorry I am thinking that it's cancer she didn't say it could be anything else I have done nothing but panick since l, has anyone been through the same please

  • Hello Cuddlydudly,

    Please try not to panic, as there's no way of knowing for sure until further tests are done. I'm sorry about how you're feeling and it's natural to think the worst, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. If you have any concerns ahead of your next appointment, writing down any questions you have beforehand might be helpful. You can read about the urgent referral process here.

    All the best,
