Annoyed. I don't understand it

I'm ranting.

So I went to the drs last Wednesday. She wanted me to go to the hospital to be examined better and explained they would use a microscope. She could see something on my cervix but when I asked if it was cancer she said "I'm not ruling it out but I'm also not saying it is". She said I could've gone back to her this week but she seemed so eager for me to be seen at the hospital and I agreed.

So I had hospital appointment today. Well there was no microscope just a moody doctor. All she did was what the GP did last week. Then took me back into the side room and said she can see something on my cervix but she's not overly worried but she will refer me to colposcopy department. Well I thought that was where/what was happening today. She said they'll look through microscope and maybe take a biopsy. But her tone and manner was pretty crap.

I feel like I'm not being taken seriously because I'm only 23. I don't understand why my GP said I would be seen with a microscope and I haven't been. I've spent a whole week absolutely petrified of the outcome for today and now I've got how ever long of even more worrying until I get seen by colposcopy :blush::confused:

  • Hello zoelouisee

    I'm sorry to hear about your recent appointment. It's often frustrating when something we are expecting to happen doesn't go as planned, or indeed happen at all. 

    It sounds as if the Dr you saw was able to see the same issue as your GP did so hopefully now you won't have to wait too long for an appointment with Colposcopy. It may be worth giving them a call to see if they can give you an idea of how long it might be before you get an appointment. At least then you'll know when you may hear and it may also be that they have cancellation availability. 

    I do hope that you have some news and reassurance soon. 

    Best wishes,
