Current age 67.
History: Treated for abnormal cervical smear in 1988 (age 30) with laser ablation of cervix - and was told I had HPV but that my body would likely ‘fight it off’. Subsequent smears over the years have been clear, until:
Otherwise healthy, I was diagnosed in 2022 with high risk HPV following a smear test.
After a long saga of LLETZ showing CIN3, i waited 6 months for another colposcopy as a ‘test of cure’. During the procedure, my gynae said he could no get a large enough sample for the lab to be able to process - and so the only viable response will be a hysterectomy. That’s fine with me!
