Cervical cancer or erosion?

So I hope somebody else can share their experiences as I am in a total state!!

So I have been having irregular bleeding for a month... I had the contraceptive implant put in this January so I thought I was that.... but I now have bleeding after sex and also bleeding from the vagina when I have a bowel movement...

I have seen 2 doctors about this. They have referred me to colposcopy. But they said I have an erosion of my cervix? But I'm so so worried that it's cervical cancer. I had a smear test only 1 year ago and it was normal! But so much can change in a year can't it??

  • Hi Jessnleo123,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read about your worries, although I can certainly understand it must be unsettling. It's good to hear you have a referral and I hope it's not too much longer to wait for that appointment.

    Some people say it helps to keep busy as much as possible to keep your mind off things while waiting for the appointment. I know this may be easier said than done.

    If you'd like to discuss anything with our nurses at all, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,
