Hi all, not sure if Im putting this in the right place, but I have a question for all you ladies, thought it a bit too personal for chat.

I recently, had a routine smear test which they said they were 'unable' to report upon and asked me to have another one done. I have had another one done and this is now showing 'Borderline changes in the cervix cells' Iv now got to have another one and if this still shows changes I have to have a Colposcopy? (sp).

My question i 1. Anyone had it done and does it hurt?? (me's a wimp) and also do I need to be worrying here? I know they have said it doesnt necessarily mean cancer cells, but when I have a letter from the Cancer screening co-ordinator I feel a bit anxious?? My GP is already pushing me for a hysterectomy (due to other problems) Have an appointment at the Queen Elizabeth in Bham in May, Im worried that because of these abnormal results they may say I definately have to have a hysterectomy?

I know Im the biggest wimp in the world, and a worryer, but I have visions of me being reunited with my Ian sooner than expected?? Lol, only kidding....

Any advise would be welcome, thanks my friends, Julie xxx

My daughter had abnormal cells treated a couple of years ago aged 21. She had a procedure done called a loop diathermy (I think?) where they burned out the abnormal cells. She has had follow up smears and all is well.

My daughter is the biggest coward in the world, but she coped fine with it all. I hope this is reassuring for you and hope all is well with your further checks.

Hi Julie,

Yes still fighting but not on any chemo as 4 different ones didn't make any difference to the lung mets and now there is "enlargement" on both ovaries. As far as cancer treatment goes that's it!! I am still OK and went to Africa in Jan to help in a little school as they were moving premises.I've helped there for a while but I didn't do as much as I wanted to.I am taking LDN- you can google it- as I have nothing to lose but I don't know if it is working yet.

Hope you are ok and the present problem gets fixed ASAP.

Love Jen XX
