Lletz results

Hi,

My back story high HPV no other abnormalities found and was given a LLETZ procedure. After the LLETZ I had a terrible infection needing three different antibiotics.

I have received my LLETZ biopsy results saying “ Tissue has been analysed and confirms presence of CIN 2 and CIN 3.”

I have an appointment next week to discuss my results 

I’m just a little nervous now there was no mention of clear margins 

  • Hello vic.r

    I'm sorry to hear that your recent  LLETZ results have come back showing the presence of CIN 2 and CIN 3. It's understandable that you're feeling concerned ahead of your appointment next week. 

    There is some information about abnormal cervical cell changes available on the Jo's Trust website that you may find helpful. It may help to keep in mind that with the right management, the risk of cell changes developing into cervical cancer is low. Most cell changes do not develop into cervical cancer.

    If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice and support they can. 

    Hopefully, the team will be able to give you some reassurance when you see them next week. 

    Let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,

  • Hi Jenn,

    I went in today to see the consultant he was very vague he said Cin 3 was found and today did 2 smear tests I’m guessing that was to check they got it al out in the Lletz procedure is this normal for them to do ?

  • I'm sorry to hear the consultant was rather vague Vic.

    Unfortunately we can't answer the question you've asked in your post, but our lovely nurses team may be able to help, so if you'd like to get their thoughts on this, do be sure to give them a call on the number Mod Jenn gave you in her post.

    Kind regards,

  • CIN 2/3 is not cancer but may become cancer and spread to nearby normal tissue if not treated. Treatment for CIN 2/3 may include cryotherapy, laser therapy, loop electrosurgical procedure (LEEP), or cone biopsy to remove or destroy the abnormal tissue.
