Hi!

Thanks for replying with your experience and I'm sorry to hear your also going for a worrying time at the moment. 
 

It really does help to hear other people's experiences as our minds are our own worst enemy I think. I know I need to try and not worry until I get told there's something to worry about but it's hard.If I was giving advice to anyone yourself included I would be saying the same. Your worrying when you don't know if you need to. 

Both need to try and have positive mental attitudes and I really hope everything turns out okay for you!

I'm a worrier anyway, so for me I'm very up and down atm. OK one minute worried sick the next.

Like you said it's easy for someone to say, it may not be what you think. Which of course is true hut I think it's just human nature to think of the worst case scenerio whenever faced with something emotionally difficult. 

However with cervical cancer, it is one of the slower progressing ones. That gave me comfort whilst waiting for news, knowing time was on my side either way.

Hopefully you have same outcome as I did.

All the best lovely. Xx

Hello,

I'm in a similar position, my smear result came back this week as HPV positive and high risk (moderate) cell changes. I have my colposcopy booked in next Thursday and they advised they will most likely do a LLETZ treatment at that appointment.

I'm worried what they will find on biopsy. I'm the same as you, now convinced every ache is something sinister. However I'm trying to stay positive and not think about it too much until the results come back from this appointment.

I don't have any advice other than try not to worry, which I appreciate is not helpful as I am too!

Hi Nic,

I can only imagine how you must be feeling, it's hard to stop our minds from wandering and fearing the absolute worst. 
At least you will have a bit more of an idea come Thursday what you are dealing with and they may have already started to treat it, which is great as they will be removing any cells that are likely to cause you any problems.  
 

How long have you been waiting for your appointment if you don't mind me asking? I still haven't got one yet which I think is making it worst as I worry that whatever is happening is just getting worst in my body. 
 

I have periods where I manage to forget and feel fine/positive but then the next a horrible gut feeling.

Hi,

Same situation too :( 

I stupidly put off my smear and had first one in October at 30 and got a letter back a few days ago saying high risk HpV and severe high risk dyskaryosis. Got another letter through with appointment on Tuesday so it's good I don't have to wait that long but really mixed feelings about it. I've heard of a few people close that's had same or similar results and everything has been fine, cells burnt off/removed and then no problems, but it's the fact I haven't been for the smear to even know how long it's been like this and if I've given it the chance to develop into something more sinister. 

I received my result letter on Monday and got the letter from clinic on Wednesday morning so they were very quick. Hopefully you will be receiving yours soon. I find keeping busy helps, its night time googling which is the worst!

If it's any reassurance I have had a colposcopy before, and its nothing to be worried about. 

Jdh145, I'm sorry to hear you are in the same situation. However it is a bit reassuring to hear that there are others receiving these results, and fingers crossed all will be sorted soon.

Good luck on your appointment. 
 

Yes, heard quite a few positive story's but they all said the same about the worry it causes, it's natural isn't it. I think it's just the waiting because from what I've read they take a biopsy usually if it's high risk dyskaryosis and then you have to wait for results which can take weeks, not really sure how I'm gonna get through that bit because I've had trouble getting on with the last few days lol! I don't feel upset about it just stressed. 
 

did you have a biopsy last time at colposcopy?

Absolutely, its a shock to read the letter as I must admit I thought 'oh it will be clear again'.

No, I had some abnormal bleeding which is why they did a colposcopy. I think they just put the chemical on which changes any abnormal cells to white, and took another smear sample. 

Good luck at your appointment aswell x

Oh right I see. Yes thank you. I will update with how it goes. X
