Hi All
I feel almost stupid writing this, as I haven't actually had any results to be sad about yet. But the truth is I feel completely terrified, and I wanted to reach out.
I had an abnormal smear early October, and a colposcopy mid November. The amazing doctor showed me the issue around my cervix, and (having googled like a mad woman before I got there) could recognise what looked like nasty cells around it.
She took 2 biopsies and said she would write to me. And this is where I am now! I think the main reason I'm so freaked out, is that I knew something was wrong before my smear. My doctor hadn't been able to give me an appointment for ages due to covid, and I was pestering every week because I knew I needed one.
I suppose my question is...if I haven't heard anything already (about 3/4 weeks) can I be comforted by that? I'm driving myself mad with worry. I've got a really insanely busy job and I have no room in my life for irrational panic haha.
Thanks all xxx
Hi and welcome to the online community
Please don't feel stupid about anything you post within the community. We all know that waiting for results is really horrible and you might find this article on how to ease worry when waiting for medical results helpful.
I can see that you've already found and joined the cervical cancer group and I'm sure if you post your worries there the other members of the group will try their best to support you.
When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you that everything is okay.
