Hi guys, my smear results came back that I had HPV, high grade dyskaryosis and invasive squamous cell carcinoma, from this 2 weeks ago I had a colonoscopy and the Leitz procedure, still waiting for the results now. Feeling very chewed up and emotional as from my understanding squamous cell carcinoma is cancer??? And the invasive part means it’s spread to healthy tissue??? Sorry if I’m wrong just looking for some clarification as the doctors are not giving me much to go on and I think the waiting is making it so difficult. 

  • Hi ,

     I saw your message and you have not had a reply yet.

    Carincoma is cancer. I know this because a doctor’s letter I had stated that, as for the invasive part of it, I don’t know what that means, sorry.

     I would suggest for you to have a chat with your GP or nurse. Maybe you have been given a contact telephone number? And fingers crossed maybe someone on here will be able to answer that.

    You could also contact the Macmillan Support Line on 0808 808 0000.
