Cervical screening

[jackmorgan]

I have had 3 tests and each time received a letter back with "not able to report your results make another appointment in 3 Months ".
How many times will they make me take the test. Is there anything else they can do ? .

Got a few questions for you:
Has this been 3 in succession?
Have the tests been taken in primary care or at a hospital clinic?
Did they give a reason why the results weren't reportable?

Usually you'd be referred for investigation on the 3rd occurrence so I'm interested that you haven't. Have moved at all in the last 9 months, particuarly recently?

Yes this has been 3 in succession

The tests were done by the Nurse - Primary Care

There was no reason given.

I havent moved . Could this be an age thing ? I am 49

Nope it shouldn't be related to age, and I assume you're in England or Wales?
I suggest you go into the surgery and ask them why you haven't been referred. You can quote: NHS CSP Guidelines document No 20 part 4.2. The sample taker may be able explain why you haven't been referred but I would definitely check.

I will .Thanks for your help

is the same person taking the sample and quite frankly, is she doing it properly?
