Smear Test Worries!!!

I had a smear test in July 2018 and it came back CIN 3. I then attended my local hospital on 11th July 2018 and I had a loop excision. I then received a letter on the 26th July 2018 stating that the the loop confirmed the presence of CIN 2 (was confused as I was told CIN 3 in the beginning... is there a reason for this?

It went on to say that the treatment I received appears to have removed the abnormal cells.

My worries are that I was told to attend another smear test in 6 months time which would of been January 2019. I moved town and completely forgot about it (which is completely and fully my own fault). 

I do not have any complications from the loop. My periods are regular and the same as always and everything appears to be fine. 

I am just so worried that when I book in for another smear test now which I will be doing tomorrow, that something abnormal could be found? 

  • Hi livbethemmo and welcome to the forum.

    It's understandable why you would be worried but try not to let your thoughts or fears get the better of you if you can. I know that's tough to do but the main thing is you're booking in for your smear test now and you will know more soon.

    In the meantime, if you'd like to talk this through with someone then our cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m

    We'll have our fingers crossed for good news livbethemmo.

    Kind regards,
