Cervical Cancer

I have just come back from a Colposcopy Appointment at the hospital where i have been told there is a lump and is almost certain its cancer.  

My mind is in over drive and all over the place, how can they tell its "almost certain" its cancer?  

My symptoms all pointed towards peri-menopause due to heavy bleeding but when the nurse came to fit the coil for these symptoms suggest a gynae appointment/investigation which i am grateful for but still confused at the "diagnoses" given today.

I await further tests now which i hope won't take too long in coming through.

  • Hello m4nxk4t and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm sorry to hear you were told you may have cancer at your colposcopy appointment the other day, and for the stress and worry this is understandably causing.

    Not having all the answers just yet must be very frustrating, especially after being given such life changing news, but hopefully the appointment that's been arranged with the gynaecology department will help to clear things up and give some clarification on what you're dealing with.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will share their experiences and advice with you soon, but whilst you wait you're very welcome to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to answer your questions and support you during this rather anxious and uncertain time.

    Our thoughts are with you m4nxk4t and we'll have our fingers crossed you won't have to wait too much longer for your next set of tests and results.

    Kind regards,
