Hi,
not sure why I’m writing this post, maybe to get some thoughts and feelings off. Very fortunate to have a wonderful partner whom I shared my feelings and thoughts with, but wanted some opinions off people who might have gone through the same.
i had smear 2023 abnormal cells and hpv - all was fine at colposcopy.
had smear again March 2024, results came back and had abnormal cells and hpv.
had a colposcopy and they said some cells are a bit more than abnormal. Took a punch biopsy (July)
yesterday had llets procedure to remove cin 3 cells. The adrenaline was weird but all was good. It looked to be a good 15mm of biopsy they were sending off and said I’d get results in 2-3 weeks.
i asked a question during the procedure about pregnancy and if I had to worry if I wanted to have a baby later on (I have 3 but did want another soon) the nurse and sister both just give each other an uneasy look and then she said that it would be ok it’s normally if someone has 2 or 3 procedures. I know I’m massively probs over thinking this, but the way they both looked at each other made me feels as though something more sinister was happening. They are amazing so reassuring and down to earth, defo the type of people you want to have next to you when having this treatment, which made that look a bit out of character? She said right at the end after I’d asked a few questions, there’s nothing there that would suggest anymore, but she also said this when I had the biopsy. Just something in my gut telling me that there’s more.
i also watched the procedure been done on the screen (cause im a weirdo) and there was a huge whole from where she had lasered the cells. She showed me the sample she was sending off after and it really did look bigger than I expected - as I say around 15mm. Am I massively creating thoughts in my head around this?
there is obviously nothing I can do now but wait, and if there is something more, I feel confident that they are dealing with it as quick as possible. It’s the unknown more than anything!
at the end, I did not feel as reassured as I would normally that all was ok, there was nothing like we got all the bad cells and there going off for testing, no we didn’t see any cancer, there was a comment of we will either phone you or you’ll get a letter in 2-4 weeks. I then asked if all was ok what would happen and then she said about a repeat smear in 6 months if all is ok. I don’t know.
anyone felt the same after they had the procedure? How long did it take for the results?
thank you if you’ve read this far!
