Abnormal findings cervix -advice/reassurance?

I'm 23 years old went to the emergency gynaecologist service as I noticed pain when pressing inside my vagina but I've never had any bleeding before now, she did an examination and found that there was some calcification or something on my cervix, she said it did bleed a little when she pressed it. Took a swab and sent it away. 
 

They also found some blood/infection and proteins in my urine so I'm now absolutely terrified. It does burn when I pee occasionally but not all the time. She said I need to go back to my GP and request a cancer smear but I don't understand why she didn't do it there and then? I told her I was absolutely panicked over it thinking the worst, end stage cervical cancer and she couldn't really offer more than "it doesn't look too bad don't worry yourself yet unnecessarily" but that's what they have to say, right? Even if it was very bad she's not allowed to tell me? I know that cervical cancer affects the kidneys and so now I've just been left to stew it all over alone till Monday, absolutely thinking the worst.
 

I was at the hospital I'd be referred to if I do have cancer so I don't understand why she couldn't do something more for me there and then rather than have me go back to the GP and send a smear test away? Surely it's going to take longer that route especially when time is of the essence? I'm so scared. Looking back I feel like maybe there were just signs I missed or didn't think anything of, I don't know. I'm sick with worry

  • I'm still anxious hun because they want to check just incase. I dont have any abnormal bleeding except 2 week long periods. I have health anxiety disorder so I find things really hard. I wish I was a tough nut. Yes hearing words it could be has had me paralyzed for a week. So hearing it IS must be extreamly hard for people. Definitely opened my eyes and made me feel like I must do something to help others and support the cause as much as I can. 

    I hope your feeling okay today and again it's so kind to reply and support others x x

  • It must be even more difficult to have health anxiety and be dealing with worries. I had general anxiety, although strangely not health anxiety, but medication did help a great deal. I try not to worry about things which haven’t yet happened, but it’s very hard. I’ll never forget how it felt to be told I had cancer...it was easier the second time when it came back, for some reason. 

     

    I’m very grateful to be feeling and doing well now, but I try not to take anything for granted. x
