I’m already under gynaecology and am booked in for a hysterectomy in 10 days time after years of issues, I had a failed hyteroctopy a few weeks ago where they also did a smear, I was booked in for hysterectomy because my symptoms were concerning (possibly uterine cancer) and because they were unable to take biopsy I was put forward as an urgent case. I had been mentally preparing myself for surgery when a could days ago my smear results came back as positive for HPV with borderline cell changes. I have a colcoscopy tomorrow and if they see anything suspicious a biopsy will be taken. If they take a biopsy my surgery will be put back a week or 2 (not what I want).
Google keeps telling me that borderline changes is unlikely to be cancer? So I don’t understand why they are threatening to put my surgery back or why I even need any tests of my cervix is being removed in 10 days anyway?
So is there a chance I have cervical cancer? Is it highly unlikely? Will they be able to tell from just looking at my cervix tomorrow? And what does it matter if I’m having a full hysterectomy anyway?
sorry for all the questions, very stressed after having the C word mentioned several times in the past few weeks.
