She then so referred me urgently for a smear still waiting for results and for colposcopy within 2 weeks (this is on Tuesday16th July) I did however have an ultrasound today but the lady that done it said she can’t see anything to be alarmed about… is this normal for ultrasounds to be
Hi Ell3592x and a very warm welcome to the Community but sorry to hear about your ongoing investigations.
Navigating a diagnosis journey can be such a stressful and challenging time but getting support from people who have walked the ‘exact same' path can help a lot.
This New to Community area is like our reception desk where we look to try and direct you to the best part of the Community for you to get support. The Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) so can I recommend you join and post in our dedicated Cervical Cancer support group. This will be a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
To connect in with the group please click on the link below…….
…… then once the group page opens click in the [Black - Click to Join - Banner] that appears at the bottom of the page and this will then confirm that you have joined the group.
When you are ready……. you can introduce yourself by putting up your very own post by clicking [+ Create new post] or [ + ] in the top right of the group page.

We also have our Ask an Expert section but do allow 3 working days for a reply.
