Smear results abnormal

Hi,

I'm just looking for people's experiences with diagnosis for cervical cancer.

I'm 34 had smear which indicated HPV and high grade severe dyskaryosis. I am awaiting a colposcopy for further investigation. Stupidly this is my first smear as I put it off because I didn't think cancer would happen to me until it did.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, had a mastectomy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy, my last scan didn't detect any cancer present in my breast/chest wall.

I have convinced myself it's cancer again, the wait is unbearable.

Hi Sammac
it must be very worrying to have any sort of abnormal result when you have had a cancer diagnosis in the past but please try not to let your mind run away with itself at this point. Dyskariosis isn’t cancer, it’s pre cancerous cells, and hopefully the colposcopy will put your mind at rest when they do a more detailed examination and take some biopsies. Please don’t assume you have cancer at this point, because dyskariosis can be treated successfully.
