Hello,

 I think you are doing exactly what you should by being proactive about your health. If you aren’t satisfied with whatever the test results are, tell your doctor just what you said above. Believe me, they are used to hearing our concerns about these matters. I had severe health anxiety and had to write everything down and then go over it with my doctor. If I forget something, I’d call their office and talk to the nurse about it.

Ive actually sat and done that this evening, made a list. Im going to book in tomorrow i think because, regardless of what the smear shows it won’t show ovarian / vaginal cancers will it? Or am i incorrect? X im just really really stressed about it all. I know i can’t change ‘what is’, especially at 22:30 but its this time of night when my mind goes wild. I have to be strong all day as a mama, and can’t sit and dwell on things, and when he’s asleep and i’ve done everything i can, i just find myself laid overthinking :( 

Stress can bring on a lot of “symptoms”, so keep that in mind. Try not to worry too much(easier said than done, I know!). Think of it this way, if it is something, you’ll find out and get it taken care of. If it’s not, you can move on. The important thing is to be open and vocal about what you are feeling with your doctor. You got this!

Thank you ️ i never knew there were forums out here for stuff like this. Its much easier to vent to a stranger than someone i know. I appreciate the advice & kind words xx 

Come back and update if you want to.
