Gosh I totally feel more you because sometimes the agonising wait to have tests done and then wait for results is worse than knowing exactly what you're dealing with. Cervical cancer wouldn't necessarily explain you feeling unwell and experiencing the sort of symptoms you're describing but a smear test is so important in knowing for sure. Usually cervical cancer takes between 10 and 15 years to develop so it's likely you're in earlier stages if at all because you haven't had a smear in seven years. Catching it earlier obviously makes it more treatable. Is there any way you can get an earlier appointment or even going private for one as two weeks is such a long time when your mind is in overdrive like this. I wish you all the luck and if you ever need to talk, I can lend an ear. Xxx

Hi Cat,

I am sorry you are not feeling well but  taking steps to find out what is wrong is the right thing to do. I hadn't had a smear test in 15 years and I was a heavy smoker when I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Mine was 2A so it was treatable/curable. Once you know what is going on and can rule things out you can work on feeling better. It is amazing how worrying can make you feel so drained! Lots of us ladies have been in the same boat, we understand!  Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
