Hello Caroplym

I'm sorry to hear that your recent cervical screening results have returned showing HPV and cell changes. It's understandable that you may have questions and concerns about this. 

It's important to remember that abnormal cervical cells are not the same as cervical cancer and hopefully after your colposcopy appointment next week the specialists will be able to give you some further reassurance. 

In the meantime, we have some information about abnormal cervical cells on our website that you may find helpful. You might also want to give our nurses a call to talk things through with them. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

I hope that your appointment date comes through soon. Do let us know how you get on. 

Best wishes,
