  • Hello Trippa90

    I'm sorry to hear that your recent cervical screening results have shown abnormalities and that the recent biopsy results haven't been as clear and straightforward as everyone would have hoped. It's natural that you may be feeling anxious about this.

    We know that sometimes people who undergo biopsies and tests don't always have clear results and it's not uncommon in cases like this for things to be discussed by the MDT. This is where a team of clinicians will meet to look at all the information they have and decide what the next step should be. Sometimes this is further testing, sometimes this is to start a treatment plan. Other times they're happy to discharge the patient. Try not to worry too much about the fact your results are being discussed. 

    In the meantime, if you think it may help to chat things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. 

    I hope you have some clear news soon. 

    Best wishes,
