Cervical ♋︎

Hi Angie Boo123you and welcome to our group.

This must have been a real shock for you so no wonder you are scared and upset, but at least you have been referred very quickly to be seen by a specialist. Your own gp wouldn’t have been able to give you much information at the time, as more tests are needed. 

For me at my first appointment with the gynaecologist, he started by asking me some general questions about my health and symptoms and then wanted to examine me. I had what he described as a “lesion” so he took some biopsies there and then and told me to come back in a week for the results. (this was pre covid times so waiting times may be longer now).

I would think something similar would happen for you as a biopsy will be needed to check if the lesion is cancer or not-it could be a polyp for example. 

It’s very hard to be waiting for tests and results-this is a very difficult part of the road to a diagnosis-but try not to think too far ahead at this point and just take things a day at a time. 

I hope you will come back and let us know how you get on, and please feel free to ask any questions or share your feelings with us. We can help give you support and encouragement from what we have been through ourselves if you do get a cancer diagnosis. Many of us have been through all the same feelings of fear and anxiety and the stress of waiting.

I was fast tracked to a gynaecologist following symptoms of bleeding in 2017; it can be hard not to let our imaginations run riot.  I did my best to keep busy which helped.  I was advised to keep a diary and write down how I was feeling, also what I actually knew for sure about my situation; it helped to keep me grounded.

Hi Sarah been for the biopsy s today it was so painful.  But it’s done he as said he can’t see a lot going on he is sure it’s not cancer but he said we still need to wait for results I do feel a bit better today.  Thank you for for your help keep you updated Angela 

Hi Angie

At least you’re one step closer now to finding out what’s going on, so that’s good. Glad you’re feeling a bit better and hope it’s not too long till you get your results through. 

Definitely keep us posted, and keep looking at your white board! Don’t be a stranger here-always around for emotional and moral support if you start getting anxious and I can send you a virtual hug!
