Last Jan my smear came back HPV positive so needed follow up smear 12 months later. I had this last Wednesday, the nurse found a lump on my cervix so called for a doctor who has referred me to gynecology. Im having bloods done in the morning and my gyne appt is on Wednesday, does anyone know what I should expect on Wednesday am I just going for a chat about it or will I be having tests done while I'm there? It says nothing in my letter to tell me
Many thanks
Hi Tracey80 welcome to the forum. I'm not usually around in this thread but saw your post and didn't want it to go unanswered.
Im imagining that they are going to want to do an examination much like the smear on Wednesday and possibly to take a biopsy of the lump that you say can be felt as well. I can only think that this will be the way for them to know exactly what that lump is.
Hope that has been of some small help and please do let us know how you get on on Wednesday as we will be thinking of you.xxxx
