inflamed cervix

Hi

I'm just so worried sick. I have my regular smear tests which all have been normal. My last one was September. I have been having some brown discharge between periods so, went to see my doctor thinking it might be my pill. She performed a pelvic examination and saw that my cervix was red and inflamed . She has referred me to the hospital as an urgent appointment. I have my appointment on the 9th of this month. I'm absolutely worried sick. I suffer from anxiety anyway and I'm really struggling to stay clam. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you 

  • Hello Angel_L and welcome to Cancer Chat, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. Only a few days to go now before you have your appointment on the 9th. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting to find out more.

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. There are helpful tips on this page to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
