Waiting times

Hi    

My colposcopy was about 6months overdue, the outcome of 2 biopsies were CN2 and high risk HPV. I have been offered treatment but it's 5 months away. I feel sick with anxiety about how the cells might change in the meantime, I know things can move faster with HPV high risk. I'm wondering about going private or sm I jumping the gun? 

  • Welcome to the forum Mandy although I'm sorry to hear the outcome of your biopsies and the long wait you have for treatment.

    I just wanted to give you our cancer nurses telephone number as they will be able to explain more about this and hopefully put your mind at ease in the process. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m so do give them a call if you'd like to discuss this with them.

    You can also get further information about high risk HPV and CIN2 from Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust.

    Many of our members have been in a similar position, so you are not alone Mandy, and I'm sure it won't be long until some of them will stop to share their experiences and advice.

    Kind regards,
