So last year after x3 years of positive HPV smears but no abnormal cells detected, I then had a biopsy. Well 2, the first one they only tested one cell type so had to go back 3 months later. Result was minor cell changes/CIN 1 and to have a smear in a year.
just had my smear, finally HPV negative but I can see on my test results they didn't check for abnormal cells. Says now leave it 3 years for next smear.
I have already spent the last 3-4 years worrying and now I feel I have another 3 years of worry ahead. How do they know those minor cell changes haven't continued to change? I don't understand why they didn't check for abnormal cells still even though HPV was negative because I had the cell changes last year?
I rang my GP today and she was of no help, said to ring the colposcopy team as they handle it and decide on dates of next testing. I've left them a message but not heard back, they 'discharged' me after the biopsy so I guess technically they don't have to come back to me. I just feel at a loss with it all. It's already ruined 3/4 years. I'm now mid 30s, no children and can't even contemplate that because I've had this worry.
Advice on what to do and do you think they should have checked abnormal cells? I get they don't with a normal HPV negative but because I had the cell changes last year it just doesn't feel right :(
