Hi, I’m hoping to find some advice from others who may have had similar experiences as I’m going out of mind with worry.
I’ve had a history of abnormal cells following smear tests over the years, in 2007 I was diagnosed with HPV had a cone biopsy following a CIN 3 result and this seemed to solve the problem. A few years later I had more abnormal cells and another colposcopy, all results came back fine. In 2015 I tested negative for HPV and had normal smear results. I went back to 3 yearly testing. I had my last smear in February and results came back clear. Over the past few months i’ve had Very heavy periods and more pelvic pain than usual, have been suffering with pain in lower back and noticed very recently that I start bleeding the day after sex. I went to see my GP on Tuesday and he tested my urine, took bloods and performed a cervical exam. He said when he touched my cervix it bled, I asked him what this meant and he said that he it looked bad but not nasty and that I needed an urgent referral to gynnaeology for colposcopy as cervical cancer is suspected. I received a phone call on Thursday for a gynaecology appointment on Wednesday 27th Nov, a letter arrived and it does not mention colposcopy so I am unsure if this is what the appointment is for. I have been bleeding since the pelvic exam and it’s not stopping. I’m imagining the worst and don’t know what to think. Any advice would be very welcome as I am starting to panic.
Thank you. Sarah x
