Awaiting tests for cervical cancer

Hi everyone,

So I am in a bit of a limbo at the moment. I've been having midcycle bleeding, pain and bleeding during and after sex. I booked a drs appointment which was telephone. She then booked me in for an examination. She took a swab for infections which came back negative. However and this is where I'm after advice. Although there was a lot of blood she managed to see some of my cervix which she noted had a mass was protruding out of my cervix. She also said that my cervix appearance is the same as cervical cancer. I've been referred as a 2 week cancer referral for a gynae appointment and internal scan. That was a week and half ago I've got my scan booked for tomorrow but not gynae appointment has been booked yet. I've tried chasing it but keep being told they will ring with a last minute appointment. Did anyone else get diagnosed like this. Last time I was bleeding heavy for 2 weeks, which thankfully has stopped for now. I'd really appreciate anyone who had similar symptoms or way of diagnosising giving some advice as to what I am about to face.

Many thanks

Donna

  • Hello, 

    i had cervical cancer back in 2015. I had the midcycle bleeding. No after sex bleeding that i was aware of - purely because I wasn't in a relationship at the time.

    Gynae will be able to tell you more tomorrow. Cervical cancer is very treatable and it may not even be that yet! If there are cells there, it is possible to remove them via a lletz procedure if early stage. Mine was a bit further along and i could have had fertility preserving treatment but i chose to have a full hysterectomy (i was 36 at the time with 2 kids). No further treatment was needed and i recovered well . Let us know how you get on tomorrow xx

  • Thank you for your reply.

    Tomorrow is just for the scan, do you think they will be able to tell me anything about the mass when they do the scan?

    3 years ago I had an abnormal smear and the cells were lasered off, this just seems different because the Dr can see the change just by doing a examination. I'm still waiting for gynae appointment to be made, just hope it's soon as I just want to know for certain, although my gp seemed certain. I have to 2 children already so fertility saving isn't an issue for me either. Did your bleeding stop and start? I lost so much blood last time the gp was talking blood transfusion but thankfully I stopped bleeding so didn't need it. I'm just worried the bleeding will start again and I'll need the transfusion. 

    Hopefully tomorrow they can tell me something at the scan but I'm not holding my breathe as think I'll have to wait for gynae.

  • Hi..my daughter has had discharge and bleeding for 3 months now,she is in a similar situation as you where the GP and the gynaecologist seen something on the cervix. She had a biopsy on Monday there and we are now waiting on the results. How did your scan go?
