Hi.. I'm new here and looking for some stories similar to mine as I'm driving myself mad!
I foolishly left my first smear until I was 27, I know it was stupid and I've been told off for it plenty. At my first apt at the hospital the nurse assured me the chances of there being anything to worry about were so slim, I ended up having a biopsy same day. They did Lletz three weeks later and was assured again that I shouldn't need to come back as she was positive the CIN3 had been removed. I had smear six months later (May 2019) and they did a biopsy at the same time 'just to be sure'. I didn't hear anything back until last week!!! Despite myself and GP chasing. I went to the hospital to speak to the receptionist as myself and GP weren't getting anywhere over the phone. She was incredibly apologetic and explained the nurse I had seen had been let go, not that she had left, that she had been let go. This immediately had my mind running!
She said my case was picked up again in October 2019 despite being promised results within 6 weeks :( she gave me the date for my next apt, thankfully this month, but said she didn't have any other info as she was looking at the letter sent out to me and it just said to come in to discuss the results. This has freaked me out because the other letters have stated the results or what would happen next.
I called my GP to see if they'd had anything and doctor explained the letter they had received said that CIN3 had been found again and my case is to be discussed at a meeting at the end of October to discuss what to do next. I've been trawling through forums and no one else seems to have had their case discussed in a meeting unless they had cancer.
The thing that's worrying me the most is since the last biopsy my periods have been getting worse and worse. I rarely had pains before and now I'm absolutely useless for two days, the pain is so bad I can't even cry about it.
Has anyone else had a similar journey with a positive outcome? My husband is a 'can't do anything, can't worry' kind of guy which I admire and wish I could adapt. I'm convinced as women we just worry more regardless. I'm having nightmares that they're finding cancer and pulling my insides out. TMI sorry! I just can't stop worrying! :(
