smear test : HPV positive and dyskaryosis

hey I had my smear test done a little while ago and I got the letter yesterday and it says I have hpv positive and dyskaryosis I keep checking Google and I'm getting sick to the stomach off what I'm reading about cancer, I dont want this to happen as I have my son to look after and I dont want to upset him, has anyone else been through this as I have to wait for the hospital to send me a letter and go for a colopospy and I'm feeling rather sick to think what they are going to find 

do I need to stop reading Google or shall I just carry on normal till I get the results and everything I'm just scared as I have never had anything like this before,

 

hope people can help I'm sure people on here have been through a familiar fine just need some reassurance that's it's all going to be okay xx 

  • Hello babybanks, 

    Welcome to our forum! 

    First of all you are absolutely right - the best approach at the moment is to stop consulting the famously unreliable Dr Google and carrying on as normal until you get the results. I know this is easier said than done and it is normal to worry so try and keep busy and distracted and this will help you deal with the agonizing wait for results. 

    I hope you won't mind but I have slightly edited the title of your thread adding the words HPV positive and dyskaryosis. This will increase the chances of your post being seen by others and getting a reply from someone who has been through this before. 

    I thought I would also share with you this information on our website about what it means to have abnormal cervical cells and you can read more here about the treatment that may be offered to you. We also have detailed information about HPV here.  I hope this will reassure you - there are so many ladies here who have had this and I am sure they will be along shortly to share their experiences with you. 

    I hope your treatment goes well! 

    Best wishes,
