Colposcopy results confusion

I'm 10 days post colposcopy and yesterday got my results in the post. CIN 3 with mosaicism to my cervix, dense acewhite on both lips. 

I'm absolutely terrified. Been experiencing symptoms for years but could never get myself checked out. My smear prior to my most recent abnormal one was 6 years ago, kicking myself so hard right now. Has anyone had mosaicism? Everything I'm reading says it's a worrying sign and I've got it in my head that the biopsy results will show something. I've got 6 kids and I've just become a nanna, just so scared right now for the worst but also half expecting it due to the way I've been feeling and all the symptoms. Just needed to get it off my chest.
