Cervical polyp after loop procedure

I'm a 55 year old post menopausal woman who had an abnormal smear in 2019 with a follow up colposcopy,all clear and back to routine 3 yearly smears. I then moved abroad and went for a routine smear which came back abnormal again after explaining I'd had a clear colposcopy their method of treatment was to do the leep/loop procedure because I had the dangerous strain( I can't remember which now). Afterwards back to routine 3 year smear again. I very recently went for my smear and it couldn't be performed because I now have a polyp on my cervix and currently waiting for referral to gynaecologist. I've terrified myself into believing it's not a polyp and something far worse. Also trying desperately to be rational that after clear colposcopy and leep  procedure the chances are low that it could be anything other than a polyp. Can someone please reassure me I'm being a crazy drama queen.
