Hi,

I've been reading the posts on here and they have been so helpful but I feel like I need to write just to calm my mind.

I had my smear a couple of months ago and was asked to attend a colposcopy soon after as I had HPV and abnormal cell changes. I had a LLETZ at that appointment, which was uncomfortable (the speculum part, the actual LLETZ was surprisingly ok) and today had a follow up appointment where I was told I have high grade CGIN and that unfortunately the results of the LLETZ show they didn't get clear margins.

So, I have been advised to have another LLETZ and am now worrying that they still won't get everything and then the only option will be a hysterectomy. Is there anyone else out there that had to have a second LLETZ? If so, did you have the all clear afterwards? Or is there anyone who chose to have the hysterectomy as a preventative measure? Just knowing I'm not the only one (which in my head I already know) would really help. I'm 40 if that makes a difference. Thank you!
