Abnormal cell change and high risk HPV found

Hi everyone

This is my first post as I have just received a letter today to say that they have detected high risk HPV and also cell changes. They have advised that I need a colonoscopy to investigate and will receive an appointment within 8 weeks, as you can imagine I am absolutely terrified, I am 42 and have three beautiful daughters and I just keep thinking about the worst, apologies for rambling but I have been googling all night and have just came across this site and thought it would be better to post here than continuing to read on google, thanks in advance for listening

Hi Annmarie,
Try not to worry too much, you are doing the right thing in following up and staying on top of your health. I've read that HPV is quite common these days so you are definitely not alone in this situation!
Let us know how you do.

Hi AJD,
It has been gone for several years as far as I know. My smears have all been normal since my treatment or abnormal with cells of of undetermined significance but never developed into anything. I'm not sure, but I don't think I'd be tested for it unless I had abmormal results a couple times in a row.. Hope you are well.
