Petrified I have cancer

Hello

please help me! I'm at my wits end.

 

i had a baby 14 weeks ago! Baby number three. Last week I attended the GP due to awful pelvic pain. I have also had a little bit of irregular spotting/heavy periods. I had SPD when I was pregnant. 
the doctor gave me a pelvic internal exam which she said seemed fine. I had swans taken and a smear was performed by the nurse. I asked her if things looked ok and she said "your cervix looks like you've just had a baby!"

my last smear was in 2016..I had a biopsy that came back as cin1 hpv positive and I was advised to return in 12 months for another smear. Stupidly it passed my mind and I didn't go. I was due a smear in 2019 but was pregnant. 
anyways, for the past week I have been beside myself with worry. I'm convinced I'm going to die. I have developed symptoms of a uti (pain after jrinating and desperate need for the toilet constantly).i also have constant back pain. I have had no bleeding since, no bleeding after the smear or internal exam.

what are my chances?! I have three children under ten and I'm petrified. 

  • Hello Charlene1402 and welcome to our forum.

    First, congratulation on the new arrival!

    I'm sorry to hear that you are concerned about having missed your exam due to the pregnancy. Have you contacted your GP about your worries? If you haven't yet perhaps it's best to do so the next opportunity you have, your symptoms may be caused by nothing serious but it is always best to get the opinion of someone medically trained when it comes to these matters.

    Hopefully, some of our members who have similar experiences will come along shortly to chat with you as talking to those who can relate does seem to help.

    Once you know more come back and give us an update, Charlene1402.

    Best wishes,
