hi, dont know if anyone can help or give advice. In a nutshell mum diagnosed with womb cancer (from a routine smear test) last week, hospital appointment this thursday,(from a phone call) had no letter from hosiptal as what to expect where to go etc, co i called them today, was told mum was to go for a Colposcopy. Spoke to a lovely nurse advisor from cancer research who said thats more to do with cerival cancer and its very rare to say that a woman has womb cancer just from a smear test. this is all so confusing and worrying,we dont know what to expect and nobodyfrom our GP Surgery or the hosptial can give me any answers. I know we should find out on thursday but i just wanted to give mum more information as to what she can expect.

thank you for reading this

Hello, you could be worrying for nothing.

No-one can tell you anything until your mum has had all the tests necessary to give a correct diagnosis.

Many people have Colposcopies and never go on to develope cancer.

You are causing yourself and your mum more worry by speculating.

Wait until you get the results then ask many questions, then you should get the answers you need.

Until then just think about today as tomorrow and the next day will come soon enough.

I hope things turn out well for your mum and you.

Take Care Love Julie x

Hi just read your other blogs and read that you yourself has had a colposcopy. So you know that it isn't always the end of the world.

I hope you get the answers you need very soon.

Love Julie X

Hi

I also had a colposcopy 5 years ago from a routine smear which turned out to be negative for cancer. I now have regular yearly smears for ten years, which have never since shown any abnormalities. So please don't despair, you could bee worrying and frightening yourselves needlessly.

Hoping all is well
