3x CIN3 / severe dyskaryosis

Hello everyone

Today I had my third colposcopy & LETTZ procedure after receiving my third result of CIN3 / severe dyskaryosis. 

I first got this result in 2018 & then each time after that within a year my cells have deteriorated to CIN3 again.

The consultant told me today that moving forward each step with regards to treatment would require a conversation & I was informed that further down the line cancer & a hysterectomy could not be ruled out. 

My first question is for anyone with experience of this, how likely is it these things will happen?

I'm trying to be positive but whenever I think about this too much, I'm scared. I'm 31, a new mum & otherwise very healthy. I don't understand why my cells keep returning to a 'severe' state. 

I'm told that the areas being treated are very small & this is a very positive sign but im still very concerned.

what are other women's experiences of multiple CIN3 results over a long term period?

apologies for the long post & I appreciate anyone taking the time to read this & hopefully reply.
