Hello !
Feeling totally overwhelmed and completely uninformed
I had an abnormal smear..referred for colposcopy at the end of May. Met consultant doing colposcopy and he explained something about stages and I was stage 2-3?
Had colposcopy and treatment to remove abnormal cells and a biopsy there and then. Was told this treatment essentially 'reset' so no more abnormal cells follow up would likely be smear in 6 months and biopsy results by post.
Went on an extended 6 week trip and 1 week in a letter arrived with another colposcopy appointment (and no results)dated 2 weeks from letter which I had to get changed as in another country. New appointment is Sept 11 as consultant is on holiday throughout August
I called the office as don't know if I'm having another colposcopy..if so what to do/what is being looked for?r Or face to face results? Secretary was lovely but couldn't tell me
Don't really know what I'm asking but is this a regular step? Guess I'm just worried and sept just seems so long away...
Anyway thanks for reading
