Hi everyone I had asmear test last week and suddenly got a letter today saying I have HPV and high grade cells on my cervix well I couldn't believe it! Never had a sti or anything in my life my husband admitted to cheating and this is how I found out! What does this mean? Iam so scared I have cancer! I'm 36 with 2 young children I have been suffering on and off foul smelling discharge been back and forth to the doctors who said all swabs were normal and I am having stomach and pelvis pain and sharp pains up my moo! I put this down to other health issues but iam now thinking it's because of the HPV and abnormal cells iam really panicking and freaking out tbh! They said I have to wait for a appointment for a colonoscopy which I'm pretrifed about having has anyone had one what do they do? Does it hurt? What is the treatment for HPV and the treatment for high grade cells? So sorry for all the questions I suffer terrible aniexty and IAM litterally petrified and panicking can some one please give me some advice or tell me there experiences please x

    Hi. I'm so sorry, it sounds as though you're going through a really tough time at the moment. 
    I don't have recent experience of a colonoscopy, but I did have one 25 years ago. It was uncomfortable, more so than a smear test, but not painful. I'm sure other ladies who have more recent experience will be in touch soon. 
    Have you confided in friends or family? They would want to support you and it helps to unburden your feelings. Take care x

    Hi hun thank you so much for your support and reply unfortunately I cannot tell anyone and my husband won't talk to me about it he opened my letter and didn't reliase what it was about now he knows he said he would of hidden the letter from me! So can't get no help or support from him! Even thou he's the cause! Unfortunately anyone I know are my husband's friends and he doesn't want them to know! I joined this group in the hope to find some help advice and support I've never had anything like this before so I'm completely in the dark and really really scared xxx
