Hi everyone, I am worried sick at the moment.  I had a smear test last week (performed by a doc) and she did an internal as well, then asked me if I have breakthrough bleeding or discharge, which I don't.  She said a bit of my cervix is a different colour and has referred me to the gynaecology dept at local hospital on 2 week wait.  In my absolute panic I didn't really ask her much else. 

As a bit of background, at my last smear 4 years ago the nurse mentioned I had an ectropion cervix, which she said was probably caused by the pill.  I haven't been on the pill since about that time, so it can't be that.

I would be in a panic anyway but the thing that is compounding it is, I have had awful lower back pain for months, which I thought was from working at home and not sitting correctly.  Now I see it's a symptom of cervical cancer.  

I have two children aged 9 and 11 and I am terrified of leaving them without a mum.

Does anyone have any similar experience or can offer advice?  Should I ring the docs when they reopen, to ask more questions?

Thanks for reading, Tammy
