Possible cancer symptoms

Hello. I'm a 23 year old mum of 2 and have some concerning symptoms that are consistent with cervical cancer. As I'm under 25 I have never had a smear test and my doctor told me I can't have one as they are very strict. After looking at all the symptoms I have I would like to know where I can get further help? My GP won't help me even though im in worse pain and my symptoms aren't going anywhere. I've had these for over four months now. 
I have an appointment with the nurse this week for blood samples and swabs but can I express my concern to her? Can she help me? 
 

I know I'm young and it rarely affects younger women but it's affecting my daily life now and I have my two young children to look after (both under 3). Can anyone give me any advice or positive stories/different outcomes please? 
 

thank you 

  • Hi Raynbow88 and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry you're having difficulty with your doctor regarding your symptoms. If you have more than one doctor at your surgery then you could try getting a second opinion but don't be afraid of expressing your concerns to the nurse you're booked in to see as they may be able to help as well.

    If you'd like to talk things through with one of our very own cancer nurses then they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5pm.

    I hope you're able to get some help with this soon.

    Kind regards,
