I apologise in advance for the long post.
I had my smear test 2 months ago and the results came back as severe high grade dyskariosis (sp) - I tried not to worry too much as two previous smears had shown changes (first two were mild and no treatment required) and was told I would receive a letter for a colposcopy appointment. I didn’t have to wait long as the letter arrived the next day, for an appointment the following week (then the panic set in as they usually don’t send them out that fast)
I attended the appointment with the mindset of not to get myself worked up, and as soon as I arrived I was called in. The nurse went through all the standard questions, had a look at my results and told me that they would be treating me that day. Ok, fine I thought, get it sorted and I can stop worrying.
However she started the examination and showed me the screen (I’m not squeamish so wasn’t phased by it) and showed me there was a lot of irregularities across my cervix (it reminded me of a gravel driveway if I’m honest) and that she would be unable to treat it today....she then told me she needed to check my canal and immediately said no, we need to biopsy this so we know what we are treating. Then the panic set in. All 3 nurses in the room went incredibly quiet and they took two biopsy samples. The rest of the appointment they continued to ask me if I was ok (I felt fine, wasn’t in pain, didn’t feel sick or dizzy) and if I was sure I felt alright...as much as it was well meant I’m now panicking that they know something and haven’t said. I have a 4 week wait until my results and I’m losing sleep from worry, my family are all acting strange around me and I just want some answers... one comment from the nurse stuck with me “if it is serious, it’s early so don’t worry”
has as anyone else been through similar for it all to have been much ado about nothing? I’m 35 if that makes any difference.
sorry about the long post, my minds just going haywire right now
