Hi
Last year I had an abnormal smear, had colposcopy and came bag CIN1 with HPV positive. Advised to repeat in a year.
A year later repeat smear. High risk HPV and CGIN, within 2-weeks I had a GA colposcopy and lletz during which they found a uterine lesion so biopsied that!! The consultant said it can take 4-6 weeks for results!
I haven’t stopped crying since the op, I found it all really traumatic as the wire broke too and I am terrified I’m going to die and leave my 4-year old without her mum.
Any positive stories to keep me going whilst I wait!
Thanks xxx
Hi Im so sorry to heat how this is all coming as a shock to you and the sad errors do not help… Quite naturally you are fearing for the worst especially when you think of your 4yr old.
I have similar timeline with you but without the lesion. I had lletz with GA 15 Sept, I received a results letter after 3wks by post. It was dated 24 Sept… - I had severe high grade CIN3 and CGIN. Letter says lletz performed and suggestion to come back in 6months for test of cure.
Like you I was shocked on the colposcopy results and so I scoured experiences in this forum which was brilliant support. There are a lot of positive stories. The good thing with abnormal cells is it means they are not in the dreaded C stage… I still read worst case scenarios (as we do) and saw quite a few ladies on different CC stages and are surviving the treatments even the ones diagnosed at stage 4.
It is a lot to take in… so breath… take a cuppa -perhaps a cake? focus on your recovery and your little one… you are in good hands and they will do their best… … well done for going through lletz…
This forum is great support so ask away🙏

Hi my story is very similar. Abnormal smear and Lletz under GA. I also had some abnormal bleeding end of last year and he decided to do a hysteriscopy of my womb at the same time. He found a polyp which he removed and sent off for analysis. My biopsy results took 6 weeks to come back. I had Cin1 and CGIN. The polyp was benign. Clear margins so no further treatment needed at this time. Check up and another smear in 6 months. The waiting was agonising I have to admit. Try not to read too much if you can. Easier said that done I know. Every patient is completely different. The consultant was wonderful and kept me informed all the way.

Thank you so much for your support. It does sound similar. I was wondering about hysterectomy. I think my chance of having more children has already gone. That part is so hard too. Although obviously being alive is main priority xxx
