To be shit scared?! Awaiting results

Hi all, sorry it's a long one. I just don't know what to do with myself. 

I went for a routine smear in March, 2 weeks later I recived a letter saying I have severe dyskaryosis and must attend for a colposcop. All fine, I could cope with that. Went for the procedure and they found very large patches of white, with black flecks all over (like it had been sprinkled with pepper) nurse refered me Lletz under GA.
Fast forward 4 weeks I am patiently awaiting results, expecting a letter however; I have been rng by the hospital to go and see the consultant this Friday to discuss result. I am petrified, I have never experienced anxiety before until now.
has anybody else had this and had good news? Also has anybody else had the 'black flecks' ?? The nurse pointed them out.

Glad they have given you a clear, albeit, not nice diagnosis and you know where you stand. It must be awful having the unknown.

I now believe just how important smear tests are - I've had 3 people close to me all have experiences of how important they are - a scare, cancer and sadly cancer and death.

I went for my smear yesterday. I had been putting it off and it was well overdue.

OP, sorry to hear that Flowers it's good that they've found it early, And if it makes you feel any better your post has given me the kick I needed to book in for a smear.

jarhead123 · 02/06/2017 11:26

OP I had CIN III, Cancer in situ, 30 years ago now, treated with cone biopsy, and when more cells appeared, lazer treatment. Thirty years and two babies later, with stitches put in to strengthen the cervix, my cervix is wartorn but no further problems, and I am most definitely still here.

The only thing I would say is that hormonal Cancers can predispose you to others and 13 years later I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer. In retrospect the cervical cancer, fertility problems, problematic periods were all part of a pattern of estrogen dominance. It was even given as a factor in my infertility but nobody alerted me to the other risks it posed. If this sounds like you there are things you can do to mitigate it as well as being vigilant.

Sorry to hear your news. Great that they have caught it early. Good luck with your treatment and well done for encouraging other women to go for a smear test. Take heart from whatowouldrondo's story.

ALemonyPea · 02/06/2017 11:41

Flowers Gin if that's your tipple of choice. Be really kind to yourself over the next few days as the news sinks in. Well done for going for that smear, they really do save lives. Best of luck with your treatment.

notapizzaeater · 02/06/2017 11:53

Glad they caught it early - have they given you a treatment plan ?

It's a scary word so take care X

winkywinkybumbum · 02/06/2017 11:58

Sorry for your news. I hope, and I'm aware this may come across as a crass thing to say, that everything goes as well as it can for you CakeFlowers

loopyloppy · 02/06/2017 12:11

Sorry op and thinking of you. As others have said, hopefully good they got it early.

Leatherboundanddown · 02/06/2017 12:18

Sorry to hear this OP. I hope the hospital have managed to make you feel informed about tratement? Brew

chopper23 · 02/06/2017 12:48

Thanks all, just been for a bacon butty & coffee with my dp.

My consultants and his team are discussing my case on the 16th & will contact me afterwards with my treatment plan.

It's just a huge shock, I'm 26 no kids & was naive to think it will never happen to me. I know it's not that serious, compared to others. I'm lucky I'm a pretty positive person & have a 'just get it done' attitude. My poor dp & best friend however; haven't reacted as well as me!

Off for a weekend in London to take my mind off it, and the holidays to Marbella next weekend. So at least I'm busy until my case has been discussed.

Thanks all, you're all so kind xx

I am so sorry!

Glad you're taking it well and hope you enjoy your holiday!

I'm now going to book my smear after putting it off for nearly a year xx

PossibiliTea · 02/06/2017 14:54

London and Marbella sound so great so just enjoy yourself! Great that they've got it early, sending lots of positive wishes your way

DrSpin · 02/06/2017 14:58

Flowers and hugs to you and your DP. Cancer care and treatment options are really good these days. Stay strong. Xxxx

Sionella · 02/06/2017 15:02

So sorry OP, but you've caught it early and you're in good hands now.

If other people's positive stories help you, this happened to one of my best friends at 27. She's absolutely fine and went on to have a child (she only wanted one) with no problems at all in her 30's.

Fingers crossed for a painless treatment and a full and speedy recovery FlowersGinWine

JustDanceAddict · 02/06/2017 15:02

Sorry to hear your bad news, but you sound positive. Hope the treatment goes well.

Strokethefurrywall · 02/06/2017 15:19

Thinking of you OP and wishing you the best of luck.

I too, had exactly the same as whatwouldrondo - CIN III cancer in situ when I was 24. It was discovered after I went for my first smear test. I can't get my head around the fact that had I not gone for that first smear test, I would have had a much harder diagnosis to deal with.

As it is, I'm now 37, I have 2 little boys and I'm happy and healthy - the best thing about that scare is that I try to remain very vigilant about my body and any changes to it. I get a well woman check every year and a pap smear by my OBGYN.

The success rate if caught early is very high - keep that positivity going and enjoy your holiday in the meantime.

All the best Thanks

dontbesillyhenry · 02/06/2017 22:48
