Lletz treatment and follow up appointment

I had my LEEP done with a biopsy but have a virtual follow up appointment already arranged with the surgeon in 2 weeks time (I saw this appointment appear the same day on the new online health portal). Is this normal? I’m panicking about the results, particularly as the doctor at the time said she wasn’t sure that the cells had gone below the membrane and therefore invaded. 

  • Welcome to our forum, Natters88.

    I'm sorry to hear about your situation.

    With all the uncertainty about the cells going below the membrane, I can appreciate why you're worried but it's difficult for us to say whether this 2-week time frame is normal. Would it be possible for you to phone your doctor and asked about the waiting time, assuming you haven't done that yet?

    The other thing I wanted to mention is that if you want to give our cancer nurses a call and ask them some questions, they are available on this number 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday, between 9 a.m - 5 p.m.

    I hope this helps a little.

    Best wishes,
