HPV Positive with High/Severe abnormal cells!!!

So I had my first smear test in December 2018 I was 24 4 months till turning 25. It came back with abnormalities so I was sent for a colposcopy which I had not long after and they took a biopsy. 6 weeks of waiting and my results came back HPV Positive with low grade abrnormal cells CIN 1. I was told I'd be called for a follow up colposcopy a year later. A year later approaches but I was pregnant with my 2nd little boy so the follow up colposcopy was postponed until 3 months after giving birth so would be due August 2020 time. I went to the doctors for my 6 week postnatal check and she booked me in for my follow up colposcopy for 6 weeks time. When I arrived there I was told I didn't need a colposcopy just a smear test so they went ahead and did my smear. 2 weeks later I received a phone call and was told they have found High/severe abnormal cells with HPV so I would need a colposcopy, waited 3 weeks for that appointment. In the meantime I received a letter and the words on the letter read this is not cancer but pre cancerous cells that will most likely turn into cancer if left untreated.  Anyway I Went to the hospital for my colposcopy and was told that I would most likely be having the LLETZ treatment there and then. But was then told it would be to dangerous to do due to my vaginal walls being to close together, then told me I would need to be put to sleep to have it done so would be booked for an appointment for a few weeks time. So the doctors took 2 biopsies and sent them off and told me I'd receive my results in 2 weeks time whilst waiting for my appointment to be put to sleep. I am absolutely terrified of what the outcome is going to be as I have 2 beautiful boys an 8 year old and a 4 month old! If it said on the letter this is not cancer just pre cancerous cells that will turn into cancer if left untreated then why were 2 biopsies sent off? Has anyone else been in the same position and what was the outcome? 

  • Hi Lauren, 

     

    In a similar situation as I'm waiting for results. I had my LLetz treatment on Tuesday as they saw that the HPV changes had progressed - I am unsure on the grading/stage though as it all happened so quickly, they decided to do the treatment during the colposcopy...but I think that means they were precancerous. I think its normal for the doctor to take biopsys just to be sure, that's what I'm waiting on now. They've told me that I should hear back within 4 weeks. I am also really worried!

     

    I will let you know how I get on and I hope the outcome for us both is easily fixed! 

  • Thankyou for your reply! 
     

    it's so scary isn't it, especially the waiting part it makes your mind go into overdrive! I'm so scared as I have been having really bad pelvic pain this past few days aswell! Will post on here when I get my results on Thursday and hopefully I will be writing good news! :cry: 

  • I received my results lastnight and they found CIN 2 & CIN 3, not really sure what this means but all I know is they are booking me in to get them removed! Fingers crossed all goes well! 
     

    let me know how you get on please! 

  • Oh bless you!

     

    Thank you so much for letting me know and good luck with the treatment - you will be fine! It was very quick for me.

     

    You are in the right hands! I will let you know as soon as I get mine back . Keep me posted with your journey! 

     

    Sending all my best
