Hi have joined as I feel in complete limbo. October I had a smear with irregular cells. Was referred for urgent colposcopy. During my colposcopy appointment consultant was able to show me the area of irregular cells stating it was pre cancerous and offered lletz procedure then and there. Of course I had the procedure done. Dr was fab no pain and I felt really reassured all irregular cells had been removed. Was advised by after care nurse I would receive a letter with my results within 6 -8 weeks and be called back for a smear within 6 months. 4 weeks pass and the Doctor called me for an appointment to dicuss my results. Within the biopsy they found 2 areas of cancer. Now I have to wait until January for a repeat colposcopy to make sure all cancer has been removed. My heads all over the place will they have got all the cancer or is there more that was never seen as the cancer found within the biopsy was so small even my doctor was shocked. I'm trying to stay positive but to be honest I'm worried too
Hi, I’m so sorry you’re struggling - it’s difficult when you’re waiting but keep up the positivity. It sounds to me as if you have a marvellous team and they’re keeping you well informed.
I coped by mentally ticking off each stage I’d gone through - I felt physically no different to normal so approached each day as normal. After decades of random irregular smears and treatments, I’m now home from hospital after a radical hysterectomy on 1st Dec - had the op on Tuesday, home on Saturday and feeling stronger each day. We’re all so different in how we cope and personal circumstances affect things too but my advice would be live for today - tomorrow hasn’t happened and stress is so bad for you. So many cliches 
Thinking of you and hope you’re coping okay x
