Hi Lottie,
Please dont appologise we are all here to help.
Did you get this leaflet in with your letter http://www.cancerscreening.nhs.uk/cervical/publications/thecolposcopyexamination.pdf (copy ans paste this into a new internet window :))it explains about the different CIN stages. You are the same as me and have borderline changes, as far as I understand and what my gp has told me, your not called for a colposcopy for the borderline changes but for the HPV. Usually everything will o back to normal on their on.
My colposcopy is on the 9th. xx
hiya :)
i had borderline abnormalities too and hpv positive unfortunatley my biopsy results came back as cin2 so I need to go back in 2 weeks for lletz treatment. at the colposcopy they can give you a rough idea of what they think it is...but can't say for sure that's why a biopsy is usually taken to give a definite diagnosis. You may go and everything will be Fine and won't need a biopsy I think with borderline smears there is only a 15/20% chance you will have something that needs treating usually it clears up on its own. CIN 1 2 and 3 are all PRE cancer stages...cin 1 is usually left alone to see if it goes away where as 2 and 3 need treating so they don't become worse. Good luck xx

Hey!
my first smear test came back as borderline with HPV. I went to the colposcopy where they said the cells were almost normal. I had biopsies to be sure and that confirmed I had no abnormalities.
The colposcopy in my opinion was easier than the smear as they are doing it day in and day out.
Good luck :-) let us know how you get on x
