Hi, I posted last night with a different question but thought I might aswell add this topic… Is there any chance that the LLETZ results will come back that I have cancer? can anybody shed some light on this, just to help me sleep? I’m so worried!

Hi Tillie
I had a smear test in July which came back borderline cell changes so was sent for a colcoscopy where this picked up cgin further up in my canal so I was then sent for a lletz at the beginning of September,I was told this would need to go to an MDT meeting to be discussed and then hopefully find out results in 4-6 weeks,like you,I was thinking what results but I have told myself that this will be to see if they have cleared the margins and if these cells were cancerous or not. The worry and anxiety is unbelievable but it’s best to focus on other things as you will drive yourself crazy and deal with each step at a time xx

Hi tillie I’ve just commented on your other post with what I’ve managed to glean reading others stories on here. It doesn’t seem like you were given a lot of info I think that’s done not to scare us but it did the opposite to me- I like to know what’s happening and what outcomes might be!!
Basically the cells from your lletz are tested and graded, then if they’ve got clear margins which means they’ve got all of the bad cells and left healthy tissue then they’ll see you again in 6 months for a check up. If there’s any abnormalities it goes before a panel of specialists who will discuss the results and decide on the next course of treatment for you. This is what I think happens but in no way am I an expert just been reading lots during sleepless nights.
I don’t know the chances of percentages of cancer being found during lletz but I am confident that there are great treatments available if it were to be cancer and lots and lots of support for women who do go through this. Xxx

Hi, thank you for your post 
I have just had a call stating the consultant wants to see me tomorrow to discuss my results. I know this doesn’t mean anything brilliant as I was told to expect a letter if it was all ok? I just want to know what is going on now. Im not sleeping or eating properly because of worrying it’s so hard and confusing to wrap my head around. This time a couple of months ago I was blissfully unaware and now it’s all I can think about xx
Thank you for all your replies you have no idea how much it means to have someone respond with the answers that I want, I try talking to my friends and family and don’t really get much support, I either get told not to worry or I have people tell me that they were fine so I will be too. This isn’t what I need, I need someone to just help me understand. I suffer with horrendous anxiety and just having someone to chat to makes me feel like a weight has been lifted, so honestly thank you from the bottom of my heart

Hi Tillie
Was it the consultant who phoned you or the receptionist? Did they say anything or just that they want to see you tomorrow? Xx
@sunshine24 Thankyou so much, it means a great deal to me at the moment, like I said, I don’t get any real support from friends, even got called a drama queen by some family members! I do suffer with anxiety but Im also entitled to be nervous aren’t I? I will let you know how it goes tomorrow, thank you again xx
The colposcopy nurse called me and just said the consultant wants to see me tomorrow about my results. I was told 4-6 weeks for the results but it’s only been 2 and a half weeks, please keep me informed on how you get on xxx
Hi Tillie
I don’t think anyone really understands the anxiety you go through untill you actually go through it so of course you have every right to feel anxious and worried as I am sure everyone on here does,I know I most certainly am. I found it not very helpful talking to anyone else about it other than like minded people on here as I know everyone is feeling the same on here.
I will of course keep you updated,I’m expecting the letter today or tomorrow now but the thought of it even is causing me anxiety. What time is your appointment tomorrow? Will be thinking of you and please do let us know how you get on xx
Thank you fingers crossed your letter is good news, it’s awful waiting to find out isn’t it. I’m so glad I joined the forum it has helped me to not feel so alone in all this, I know alot of women go through it but it does feel as though I’m quite alienated from people because I can’t think of anything but the situation at hand, I don’t have a great deal of friends or family who will sit and chat about it, and when I do try, it feels a bit like I’m burdening them or putting a downer on everyone’s day! Appointment is at 12.30 tomorrow so hopefully I’m that bit closer to knowing by then! I do hope your letter comes as soon as possible to put your mind at ease a bit xxx

Hoping you both are managing OK today. Absolutely agree about people not understanding, it’s really hard to focus on anything else so it’s what I naturally want to talk about but being told it’ll all be OK isn’t helpful even when said with the best intention. I hope with all my strength that it will be OK, we all do, however the uncertainty of it all nad the waiting and wondering is really hard and I want to talk about it, to vent and to moan-so doing it here

Had an awful day at work, bleeding lots mad feel manky and because I can’t do any heavy lifting very one else is left with the grunt work and I feel bad. But if the wound was on the outside of my body there’d be no issue!! Xx

You have hit the nail on the head there, that’s exactly how I feel, I just want someone to maybe worry with me? Lol I just want someone to acknowledge that I’m not just being a drama queen! I can’t wait to find out now just so I know, the waiting is just the worst part about all of this to be honest. And as for the feeling horrid after the treatment, I had watery discharge for days which made me feel sooo self conscious, it also had a slight smell for a couple of days too which physically had me in tears because I was so disgusted and convinced that if I went out people would smell me and think I was dirty (I bath every day at least once a day) it appears to be clearing up but if they have to do treatment again tomorrow I’m not gonna be happy because it will reset the entire process again! Sorry for ranting! If anyone wants to private message me on here you are more than welcome xxx
