Abnormal Smear

Hi.

i tested positive for high risk HPV last year with no changes. This year still HPV and now abnormal cells. I have been scheduled for a routine colposcopy in 39 weeks!!!!!!!

This is surely too long to wait. What can I do? 

  • A very warm welcome to the forum Rudolph, although I'm sorry to hear you have to wait 39 weeks for your colposcopy. This must be incredibly frustrating.

    If you haven't done so already you could let them know you're willing to take any cancellations that pop up. There's no guarantee it will get you seen sooner, but it does give you a chance.

    Hopefully some of our members will offer their thoughts and advice to you soon but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very easy to talk to and will do all that they can to help.

    Kind regards,
