Carcinoma cancer

Hi I had a smear came back abnormal, 

had a biopsy with consultant removed tissue to send to the lab, 

went back to a follow up appointment for results 2 weeks later, 

for my consultant to say the lab are saying they haven’t received my biopsy. So he then send me for emergency surgery the next morning day surgery for LLETZ ( to treat HG cells & suspicion of cancer. 

I have my surgery to wake up and be told I’m being admitted to hospital my oxygen levels are really low and I’m badly emnemic that I have to go on a drip. 

Go to a ward within one hour I lost 500mil of blood 

so rushed back to emergency surgery to have stiches and a vagina pack to put pressure on my cervix along with a cafta. 

2 days later I was allowed home. 

On my discharge forms it says 

needle cone biopsy of cervix for investigation of invasive sqauamous cell carcinoma? 

Histopathology sent! 

What is this & what does it all mean as this was never explained to me or even told I was under investigation for this? 

Is been 7 days today & I’ve herd nothing back. 

  • Hi there, I can't tell you what it all means but it's pretty bad that they didn't explain what's on the discharge notes to you. Call them tomorrow morning to see if anyone can help. I would highly recommend contacting Jo's Trust cervical cancer charity, I've had abnormal smear results 3 or 4 years in a row now (only low grade so no treatment yet) and they have helped me loads when I didn't understand stuff from the hospital. They have a helpline, it's only open certain hours but you can find the details on the website. Sorry you're going through such a worrying time, hope you can get some more info and support tomorrow xxx
