Hi
I had an HPV positive smear last year. In August last year I decided after years of trying to conceive and fertility treatment that I couldn’t do it anymore and decided to have a coil fitted to help with my terrible periods.
As soon as I had the coil fitted my periods stopped and i actually felt normal for the first time in ages, not dreading every month.
I started to bleed daily in December and it continued so I called my GP who wasn’t worried but said he would speak to a gynaecologist and get back to me. I had a call back and the gynaecologist said to attend and have my cervix checked. I had the appointment last week and the nurse said my cervix did not look normal and she is worried about cervical cancer and that I would be referred on a 2 week wait. I have now received an appointment for next week but it is a telephone consultation not a face to face.
can anyone explain what to expect as I am terrified and confused and not sure what happens next.
Hi HF96 and a warm welcome to the Cervical Cancer forum.
I don't have the same cancer as you but noticed no-one's been along just yet to answer your question. Whilst waiting to hear from someone it might be a good idea to ask a nurse on the Ask the expert forum. They should be able to tell you what to expect but they could take a couple of days to get back to you.
When you have a minute, it would be helpful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. (It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself.) To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can update it at any time and if you're not sure what you should write have a quick look at mine by clicking on my username.
Sending you welcoming hugs, B xx
