Hi ladies,
Thanks for all your continuous support to other women on this forum, it is so reassuring and lovely to see womens supporting owner women
I went for my colposcopy 7 weeks ago after being told I had high grade hpv with moderate changes to cells and the doctor at the colposcopy said they didn’t think it was high grade and it looked ok.
I rang today to chase my results after 7 weeks and they have said a letter was sent with the results and I am due to come back in in 3 weeks for appointment. I haven’t received the letter yet and am away tomorrow for the weekend. I don’t want to be stressing all weekend about this but I won’t get the letter until I’m back. I wondered if anyone has had the experience of being asked to come back for the appointment after the colposcopy? Is it likely to be for the LLETZ? I guess it is unlikely they would ask me to come back in if there was not treatment needed?
Any advice would be great as I guess your brain goes to the worst place.
Thanks in advance xxx
hi @RebeccaF
it does indicate that you have been called in to have a LLETZ treatment, its likely the punch biopsies have confirmed CIN2 and they have decided to treat it rather than taking the “watch & wait” approach
if they suspected anything more than CIN, you would be called in to discuss things usually the next day or next working day if its a friday, they wouldnt wait 3 weeks to treat it xx
Thank you so much for your response. I think it is likely too that I’m going to have the LLETZ treatment, which is ok- I’ve read quite a lot about it and I know that it is uncomfortable but I know I can get through that. I guess when you hear you have to go back for another appointment but not sure of results yet- I was catastrophising and thinking they might want to tell me that they have found cancer but you’re right, they probably wouldn’t leave it 3 weeks. Thank you, honestly the women on here are great. Hope you’re ok xxx
