Worried

I had an abnormal smear and had to have a lletz procedure 01/07/2019... I have just received a letter saying I require more treatment and I need to go back next Tuesday 20/08/2019.

Its dosnt state what treatment is needed and why...it tells me to call my gp if I have concerns but my gp dosnt have any letter yet.

What treatment could it be? More lletz? Something different.  The letter states I have CIN bit no indication of stage? 

  • Welcome to the forum Vici although I'm sorry for the reason you're joining us.

    It could be more Lletz or it could be something different but unfortunately I don't think anyone here will be able to tell you so try to hang tight until your appointment next week.

    Hopefully your GP will receive the letter soon so you can have a chat with them about this before Tuesday but do feel free to give our cancer nurses a call if you'd like to talk things through with them as well. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Wishing you all the best for the 20th Vici.

    Kind regards,

  • Hi steph, 

    Thanks for your reply. I was just hoping someone had had a similar letter and able to share what happened when the went back.

    When I went in originally the doctor told me I was on the high end scale of abnormal cells and had had to burn away a large area so I kind of thought that would have got rid of it all so was a bit shocked to say more treatment was needed.

    Not much i can do but wait for tuesday to come.
