Hi, 

I aren’t sure where I can ask for advice, I know CIN 3 is not cancer but I’m scared so I’m hoping there’s someone here who could offer me some advice;

Four weeks ago I went for a colposcopy, the doctor said the smear referral was due to High-Grade Dyskaryosis with ?invasive squamous cell carcinoma. She performed the LLETZ procedure during the colposcopy. This was after my first ever smear at the ripe age of 34 due to my ridiculous fear of going. 

Today I received a letter saying that the summary was;

CIN 3, not completely excised at all margins.

We will be discussing these results at our next colposcopy Multi-disciplinary meeting.

I don’t know what the meeting is about or why my results will be discussed does this mean there was a discrepancy in results? I did the silly thing of googling it all and now panic has set in.

Any knowledge of what happens next would be amazing.

Thank you
