  • Hello Eli8

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some concerns about your health. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about the results of your most recent appointment. 

    There is no hard and fast rule about how results are communicated to patients so please try not to worry about the fact that you've been asked to go to the hospital. There could be any number of reasons that the team have asked to see you again. 

    Hopefully, when you go for your appointment, they will be able to give you some reassurance but if there's anything you'd like to talk through with one of our nurses you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,

  • Hello Eli8

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been told you have some abnormal cell changes along with HPV. Many women share this news here on the forum and understandably, they feel anxious about what this might mean for them. 

    We have some information about treatment if you have abnormal cervical cells on our website and hopefuly the specialists will be able to offer further reassurance. 

    If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
