Hi there. Has anyone had a cone biopsy to remove early stage cc? I have been offfered one to remove 1a1 tumor. It measures 3mm. Have to wait 4-6 weeks for the procedure. Worried now as waiting time seems long. Has anyone had this?
Hi,
I had 1a1 removed through a second Lletz under a general anaesthetic.
It was successful.
I have now had a hysterectomy to safeguard against future problems.
MRI was clear prior to surgery.
Try not to worry, the cone will more than likely get it all.
Stay positive.

Thank you for the reply. That's good to know and also that you are ok. I've just had a LLETZ but have to wait for results back from histology. I'm told it will be highly likely I'll need either a trachelectomy or a hysterectomy but as a preventative measure. I felt thankful it was caught early but still getting into my head fact this had cone on so fast as I have had no abnormal cells before and I have stuck to my three yearly smears. Leads me to think it must be cells that have changed very fast.
Hi all my ECC came back cin 2 but normal pap and normal colposcopy... But positive hpv... I'm having leep Monday. When I day I'm petrified that's an understatement.... What do you think the chances of cancer coming back on the leep?? I'm so scared to have this done
Hi,
I had a cone biopsy to remove 1a1. It was under general anesthesia and had clear margins on both sides. Since I had squamous cell carcinoma, they have said that is enough and I will have 3 monthly follow-ups. I asked about having a hysterectomy but my doctor did not believe it is necessary at this stage. He said if abnormal cells show up again, that is when we will discuss it.
I hope this helps.
