Hi,
I’m 32 years old.
I'm FREAKING out!!! I’ve just had my results back from my smear confirming I have HPV virus and high grade dyskaryosis and have been referred for a Colposcopy. Naturally I’ve read the booklet they gave me and looked online and so now I’m freaking out. I had sex 2 weeks ago and bled after which has never happened before, now I’ve convinced myself it’s cervical cancer.
I was diagnosed with non Hodgkin’s lymphoma in Sept 2020 Stage one. I had radical radiotherapy treatment and my PET-CT I had in February 2021 showed the treatment was effective and no cancer was detected. So surely if I had cervical cancer the PET-CT would have shown that?
I’m gutted, it’s been the toughest 7 months of my life being a single mother, being diagnosed with cancer and having to shield during the pandemic. I was just starting to feel hopeful and like it was all over and then I got these cervical screening results.
Surely though.... I’ve had a PET-CT so if I had loads of cancer they’d have found out?
Think I just need to vent. I don’t want to tell my mum because she’s been through enough with me having cancer, her sister died of cancer last year and now another of her sisters have cancer. So wanted to vent on here rather than worry my mum.
