Hi everyone,

I hope I am posting to the right place! Earlier today I had a LOOP procedure after being diagnosed (I guess?) with CIN3 after a recent colposcopy. 

The intial letter i I got from the NHS doctor (diagnosing the CIN3) said there was “no evidence of cancer, which is very reassuring” in the letter I received.

For various reasons, I decided to get the loop procedure done privately. The doctor was lovely and said I would get my results back in 2-3 weeks. She wants me to come in to get my results, instead of sending a letter. 

I suppose my question is - is this normal? I’ve only ever heard of bad news been given in person, can my doctor already tell if I have cervical cancer?

I’m 25 years old and this was the result of my first smear. I’m so nervous about everything and feel very vulnerable at the moment. 

I really appreciate any advice!
