Second colposcopy on Wednesday: so worried

Hello. 
 

i had an early smear done in January as I was having some symptoms associated with cervical cancer. My results came back as high risk and I had a colposcopy done and waited for my results. I had 3 biopsy's taken. I then received a letter to say that all 3 biopsy's were insufficient so I'm having to go back on Wednesday to have my second colposcopy done. I'm so worried has this happened to anyone else?

  • Hello Tee and welcome to the forum.

    I'm not sure what time you're having your second colposcopy today but I just wanted to wish you the best of luck and let you know we're thinking of you.

    Hopefully you'll get to hear about some of our member's experiences and receive some support from them soon but if you'd like to have a chat with one of our cancer nurses about your situation then do give them a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040 and will do all they can to help and put your mind at ease.

    Fingers crossed the next set of biopsies are successful and bring good news.

    Kind regards,

  • Hello,

     

    Thankyou so much for getting back to me. I had my second colposcopy today. The colposcopist had another look and said that the abnormal patch of tissue had disappeared since my last appointment and apart from the cervical cells growing on the outside she was happy to discharge me so I'm feeling very relived, however I'm still not convinced in myself that everything is okay due to still having symptoms. I'm going to try and get on to my doctor as they wanted to do some blood work. Fingers crossed I'll get some answers as to what is going on!x
