Hello,
I’m so worried!! I have had high risk hpv for a few years now, but my colposcopy always showed low grade changes.
When I had a recent biopsy, the doctor said it all looked fine and low grade - but it’s come back as CIN3 and I’m going in this week for treatment!
I don’t understand how it’s gone from low grade to cin3 so quickly? Even when he said it all looked fine just 4 weeks ago!! Has anybody else been in this situation?
Could this be cancer? I’m so scared. I have a 7 month old baby 
When doctors grade abnormalities by eye all they are doing is making an educated guess, nobody can really say for sure the exact grade unless its through a biopsy… usually they are right but an educated guess is still a guess and abnormalities can sometimes look worse or less than what they are
CIN3 is not cancer and it would be very unlikely they would find cancer when a biopsy has returned CIN3… I had a low grade smear and a colposcopy biopsy upgraded it to CIN3 so i know how it feels to get the kick in the teeth lol i was on a 12 month follow up and went from borderline changes to CIN3 within 13 months, it took 9 weeks from my CIN3 diagnosis to my treatment but even though my cells progressed quickly the 9 week wait didnt make a difference in the results i still had CIN3 xx
Hello,
Thank you so much for replying. This makes me feel a little bit better. Was everything clear after your treatment / follow up? Xx
Yeah all was clear thankfully i only needed the 1 treatment and my follow up smear in september came back as HPV- so I’m back on the normal routine recall xx
That’s amazing. Hopefully my story is similar

If it helpes, LLETZs are successful in 90% of cases, it can also help with clearing the virus its not understood how but for most woman it can give the immune system a kickstart… so you do have statistics in your corner xx
