Abnormal smear but LLETZ was clear?

I had an abnormal smear with CGIN, and ended up having a LLETZ to remove any abnormalities. The results from that biopsy were clear, and they took 13mm. They are now going to do a internal ultrasound to look at the top of the cervix and womb to see if that's where the abnormal cells are. Has anyone else had this?! I'm presuming the abnormal cells are up there but I just don't know if I should be worried or not. 

  • Welcome to the forum Twiglets07 although I'm sorry you had an abnormal smear.

    It's good to hear your biopsy was clear, but I know this is still a worrying time due to the ultrasound being needed to locate the cells.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in this position will be along soon to offer their support and advice, but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m (but over the next two weeks, their phone lines will be closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day). They're very insightful and will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease whilst you wait.

    We're thinking of you Twiglets and wishing you all the best with your ultrasound when the time comes.

    Kind regards,
