I apologise in advance for the huge post, I had a colposcopy today after borderline changes in smear, at my original pap test the nurse said my cervix looked 'nice and pink and healthy'. I did test positive for hpv which was the reason for the colposcopy I thought. ... so today was the appointment, the nurse had a "look" and then suggested a biopsy but went to call in a doctor first to see what she thought, I was made to leave the room while the doctor was called which made me even more nervous, and then the biopsy which was Lletz biopsy caused an excessive amount of bleeding because the biopsy site was close to lots of blood vessels, the nurse kept saying to me " and are you sure you haven't had any symptoms?" Which has now made me even more terrified because if symptoms are only usually present in later stage cancers why is she asking me as if she's surprised that I'd not had loads of symptoms... anyway they left me saying they were sending off the biopsy and didn't want to guess anything before getting results of what it was and that ill have results in around 2 weeks! My brain is now running overtime, when doctors think something is fine they say things like" it seems to be a chest infection but we'll send of this test just to be sure" . .. when they think it's serious they say "well I wouldn't like to guess at what it could be without the results" ... right? ... i am 28 years old and I'm now terrified for my children etc.. I can't see there being a good outcome at all, has anyone had similar events? Thank you
