HPV Need Advice Please

Hi I'm worried sick about my latest smear it can back low abnormal changes with hpv.. ten years ago I had cin 1 & 2 and had lletz treatment but I don't know if I had hpv as it was never mentioned to me. I got an appointment for March for a colposcopy.. I've had yearly smears but missed last year as I was dealing with a bereavement. 

  • Hi macy,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can imagine this is unsettling but try not to worry too much at this stage. The colposcopy will be to determine whether any treatment is needed for the abnormal cells. I would encourage you to read the information on our website here which gives the full details and also an idea of what to expect.

    You can also call our nurses if you'd like to discuss anything - you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,
