I’m after abit of advice. After some abnormal bleeding, a colposcopy and 2x biopsies I was diagnosed with CIN3 (severe abnormal cells). Thankfully I was able to go private and had surgery the day after my results. I had the a Cone LLETZ procedure under general. My doctor told me after surgery that he cannot rule out that it has already progressed to cervical cancer and it is in the hands of pathology. The 10 day wait for the results was torture, obviously. I had my results on Tuesday morning prepared for the worst however thankfully there was no cancer found, just CIN3 with extensive crypt involvement. I have clear margins and they removed all the abnormal tissue. I was very shocked to hear my doctor actually tell me on Tuesday he was very worried himself and he thought it had already progressed from what he saw.
My doctor told me that he initially thought he would take less than 1cm of my cervix however he had to take over 2cm! shock I read about the risks of this, and he explained to me I will definitely need a cervical stitch when I become pregnant as I only have about 1cm of my cervix left. He told me not to worry too much I will just need to be closely monitored.
Has anyone had this procedure and if so what was your future pregnancies like? Did you give birth early? He has told me it’s likely I will give birth before 37 weeks even with a cervical stitch.
I am only 28, I have a 15 month old but definitely want more children so I am very interested to know how any of your future pregnancies went. I am unable to give birth vaginally due to pelvic injuries from a car crash when I was a teen. My son was born by planned c-section and perfectly healthy. This adds to my worries as if I did go into labour early I imagine it would need to be an emergency section.
Let me know your experience please!
Thanks so much x
