CIN2 & 3 - Suspicious area after Loop biopsy

Hi, I had a loop biopsy after abnormal smear results. Had a phone call a week later from the doctor who said my initial results were back to say CIN2&3 as predicted however there was a suspicious area they were concerned about and it was being sent off for a second opinion and I'd probably have another week wait. I've been waiting over a week and now worried this area is cancerous.

Anxiety is through the roof and haven't really spoken to anyone other than one close friend about this and of course my wonderful husband but the waiting is the worst. Has anyone been through this or know how long a usual second opinion takes?

Thanks

  • Hello LPr2025 and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear about the suspicious area that has been found during your loop biopsy, and for the stress and worry waiting for the results from the second opinion is causing.

    So many of our members know how tough waiting for news can be, so you are not alone LPr2025, and hopefully you will receive some support and advice from them soon.

    If it would help to talk through your concerns with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday (except bank holidays) between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to give you the information you need and support you during this anxious time

    We're thinking of you LPr2025 and will have our fingers crossed for a good outcome.

    Kind regards,
