So, things have moved really quickly in the last week.
Back in about October I had my cervical smear which came back with HPV and abnormal cells, I've since been referred for a colposcopy. at the same time as my smear test, i told my doctor about how it hurt sometimes while having sex and that I had bleeding after sex (something that has come and gone for literally years) along with abdominal pain. On top of this, I was having break through bleeding which was sometimes heavy and how my periods had suddenly become irregular.
I was sent for a transvaginal ultrasound and in that appointment the nurse told me that she thought she could see a polyp, however with the fact that my periods had become irregular she said that she didn't think I was on my period (as I was told to go on day 1-5 of my period) and couldn't see clearly. She said that it was hard to move the left ovary and we'd need to have another look on my next cycle.
for reasons i wont go into, my next cycle was last week and they took me within two days of me calling - in that appointment (Wednesday), I was told that my left ovary was touching if not attached to my uterus and there was a large polyp.
I got a call from my doctor the next morning (Thursday), who said she was going to put me on the urgent cancer referral to speed up the process and she "does not suspect cancer at all". I got an appointment the same day for the Sunday and in that consultation they talked about a uterus being layers like an onion (i didn't understand this analogy and got really overwhelmed as he'd pointed to my notes on the screen which I think said 14mm polyp?) and that I would be called in for a hysteroscopy to confirm if it is a polyp and then remove it in one go which has been scheduled for Friday.
This with the information about the abnormal cells is making me worry that what comes back is something i don't want to hear. I'm trying to not worry but I can't... does anyone have any kind words that aren't don't worry?
