Hi, I am 38 and have two children 17 and15,
My story so far, I had my smear on the 22nd January, on the 9th feb came back as abnormal, got referred on the 14th had my appointment they found a marble sized lump on my vagina wall and done a LLETZ there and then! They took 5 biopsies (witch I thought was a lot)
this week has been so hard and my head has gone to some very dark thoughts! I have had 5 people (family and best friend) die of cancer in the last 3 1/2 years. I haven’t been to work this week DR signed me off and said to keep myself busy with the things that I love!! Finding that hard all I’ve been doing is cleaning. I haven’t told anyone only my partner as I don’t want them to worry if there’s nothing to worry about.
I don’t really have a question just wanted to chat
I’m so sorry to read this…it’s a horrible thing to be told. Take your time to come to terms with it and if you want to talk, we’re here to help if we can. Sending a big virtual hug.

Thanks xx just feel very numb and out of my body. Was hoping it was all a dream. But sadly no. How are you?
Hi,
How are you? Have you heard anything yet?
I have my First appointment MRI tomorrow
Hi Megs23
I’m not sure if you’ve had an mri before but having a pelvic mri will involve noise, and it will involve a “thumping” feeling from under the table. I’ve always gone into the machine feet first so my head remains outside but I ask for an eye mask as I tend to feel anxious about scans.
