Hi everyone,

This might sound silly but I remembered having such supportive responses when I was having a difficult time. 3 years ago I had abnormal bleeding and after having a smear test it came back with hpv and abnormal cells. I had a colposcopy which thankfully revealed everything was okay and I was referred back to 3 yearly smears. I have booked my smear for 2 weeks time and find myself experiencing anxiety at the possibility I am going to go though this again. I keep having dark thoughts that the cells may have grown and I will recieve bad news. The first time round I had extreme anxiety and tearfulness. I have amazing support from my fiancé and family but just wanted somewhere to get out what I'm feeling. 
 

many thanks,

claire
