I'm scared I may have cervical cancer and finding it difficult to cope with. I'm trying to remain positive but it's hard. I'm 33 with a baby who's just turned one. I had pre-cancerous cells, CIN 3, removed from my cervix in 2015. My smears since then have been fine. I had a check up colposcopy 2-3 years ago which was fine too. However, after intercourse recently I had pink discharge when I wiped for a few days. Called the GP and she looked at my cervix yesterday and said it looked like cervical ectropy however she has requested a urgent colposcopy so they can make sure. I know cervical ectropy is similar in appearance to cervical cancer. So my mind is racing. My doctor tried to reassure me that my smear was fine last year and cervical cancer can take years to develop. But I've read stories of people having ok smears and colposcopy but yet they're diagnosed with cervical cancer at some point. I've also got a pelvic ache and ache at the top of my right thigh which makes my mind race even more. If it wasn't for the aches I'm feeling I think my mind would be better rested. Sorry for going on but somehow it's therapeutic to let it out. 
 

Just wondering is it common to have cervical cancer without heavy bleeding? Also looking for some positive stories to keep my mind off the not so positive stories I've read. 

Thank you
