Hi everyone, thank you in advance for any replies
so I have been having abnormal bleeding for approx 5 months, and decided to econsult the doctor
i had an internal scan and that was clear
had an examination and the doctor said she saw something 'concerning' and did the usual colposcopy referral
the colposcopy was all done in about 5 minutes, she literally took a biopsy, none of the other stuff I was expecting and was a bit vague
It all feels a bit of a whirlwind
i had abnormal cells in 2016, a clear smear 6 months later then a clear smear this february
part of me is thinking well it can't be anything scary
aprt of me worries about the rarer more aggressive cancers
i have some pain in my pelvis, back, left had side
I have had some issues with my bladder, was thinking uti
I do think perhaps I'm more aware of pains?
there's some nerve pains a bit like sciatica
sorry I'm rambling, my emotions are all over the place!
my biopsy was approx 10 days ago, my question is does anyone know the average wait time during these times and if there was something really scary, would I have been told by now?
I think what threw me the most was that the doctor could actually 'see' something and her description was a bit weird 'streaky' skin, erosion
and the person who did the colposcopy said the skin was kind of coming away anyway
