Hi Overwhelmingly_worried, 

I can imagine this is a bit of a scary time for you after finding out you were put on an urgent referral for suspected cervical cancer and it's hard in situations like this not to imagine the worst and the potential consequences of treatment like the effects it could have on your ability to have children or being unable to carry out the plans you originally had and feeling like you might become financially dependent on your partner. It's important to remember though that this is all a worst case scenario and it's best if you can not to anticipate the worst if you can while you are waiting for a definite diagnosis. 

I am keeping everything crossed for you that you get some clarity soon and that it turns out to be nothing too concerning. White you are waiting, try if you can not to look things up too much online as this never provides answers or reassurance. Have a look instead at our helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for news which I hope will help you get through the coming days. 

I hope that you will also hear from the experiences of others here who have been in a similar place and that they will come and share their words of wisdom with you based on their personal experiences. 

Best wishes,
