Hello everyone,.
I'm a 38 yr old female. I was diagnosed with ain2 from a suspected "polyp" found on colonoscopy last Oct 2025 after suffering pain and bleeding for a longtime.
Long story short it was taking forever to get seen on the nhs so I paid privately to have a HRA done in London.
My experience was awful, no sedation, zero pain relief not even a nurses hand to hold. I was left in severe pain and distress. Anyhow fast forward to results, showed Hpv 6 And 68.
Borderline changes in anal canal and 2 new internal lesions with AIN2 , p16 was patchy mosaic.
This private doctors response was let's just do nothing or repeat in a year.....
When I finally got seen by the nhs , the doctor strongly disagree and had my hra repeated In 3 months under a general anesthetic.
He said he would lazer if needed and biopsy anything suspicious.
When I woke up he told me.id had lazer on the 2 know ain2 lesions, but externally they had to surgically excised 3 suspicious areas including one ulcer that had grey indurated edges.
Recovery was lousy, extremely painful (even now 3 weeks after I'm taking painkillers) I wasn't prepared at all.
But I'm still waiting for my biopsy results and it's really stressing me out that it's bad news...
How many of you had confirmed ain2 or ain3 before a cancer diagnosis ? Thankyou for listening to my waffle, I'm just so worried I have 2 young kids that need me.
Thanks in advance xx
