Polyps

Hi I had my first smear test in 5 years (stupid I know) I finally got round to it last Monday the gp practice nurse found a polyp and made an appointment for me to see gp on Wednesday who checked the polyp and also noticed I have a slight prolapse which I had put down to being overweight and getting older she said she was referring me to gynaecology and I presumed this would be in a couple of moths however I got a call on Friday for a cancellation appointment on Wednesday does this mean gp has seen something bad I didn't think to ask and now everything I Google screams cancer and as a full time carer to my daughter I can't be sick

  • Welcome to the forum Disy although I'm sorry to read what's troubling you.

    I know it's difficult but try not to jump to any conclusions if you can as your appointment tomorrow may just be due to a cancellation popping up which meant they could see you earlier. 

    If you'd like to talk things through with someone before you go our cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Wishing you all the best for tomorrow Disy.

    Kind regards,
