Hi Nicola86,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can understand this must be unsettling and this kind of uncertainty is never easy. However try not to get ahead of yourself or assume anything - the main thing is that you have further appointments and results that you're waiting on. These should give you the information you need, as well as an opportunity to talk things through with your doctor and the specialist.

In the meantime, while waiting for the results and the appointment, try to keep yourself busy with the aim of keeping your mind off things as much as possible.

Wishing you all the best,

Thankyou for your reply. Iv had my blood tests back and all came back clear, I'm getting a second opinion on the erosion on my cervix and thinking of going private for another smear because I have a gut feeling something has been missed on my previous one I feel such an idiot ringing the doctors all the time I dread ringing them coz I'm scared they won't help me x

Hi Nicola,

I had similar symptoms to you a few years ago and it turned out to be an ovarian cyst. I was on a heavy period for about 6 weeks, finally went to the doctor and got referred for an ultrasound. They could see the cyst on the ultrasound and told me there and then that it would need surgery as it was tennis ball sized. 
 

Also CA125 being negative is a good sign. 

There are lots of reasons as to why you might be bleeding. Equally there are other conditions/causes to consider other than cervical cancer. If I were you I would wait until I'd had the ultrasound to consider another smear because (in my experience) the sonographer will give you an idea if things look ok or if there are any changes that need to be looked at further. 
 

It helped me to keep in the back of my mind that if there was any actual indication of anything sinister then you would have been on a two week referral. 
 

Hi there did you ever get to the bottom

of this? Im Currently going through the same and wondered how you were getting on.
