Hi Jo-cat-lover, 

A very warm welcome to our friendly community. What a stressful time it has been for you and it's not easy just receiving letters and having had no opportunity to discuss this with anyone. I hope that you get some clarity soon and that you get to talk to someone about all this. It's not always easy to understand what these abnormal cells mean and there is a lot of terminology that can at first seem a bit obscure, Cin2, Cgin, HPV - that's why it's important to get reassurance by talking to a medical expert who can explain everything clearly. Our nurse helpline is also here to help so don't hesitate to give them a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

Our website also has detailed information on abnormal cervical cells and on HPV which I hope you will find useful and reassuring including on treatment if you have abnormal cervical cells. On our page on abnormal cervical cells you will also find a paragraph on CGIN. It must be quite an anxious time for you after having been told the treatment was not successful and you find yourself waiting to find out more about what your options are and to get the details of what they decided at the MDT meeting. I guess that the Christmas break has indeed delayed things a little and I hope that you get some answers soon. Perhaps if you don't get any news soon you could try and get in touch with them to see if you can find out more. Waiting is not easy and I thought I would also share with you our helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

I hope that you will hear from other members of our community who have been through something similar and that they will be along shortly to share their story with you. 

Best wishes,
