Petrified

For the past 6 years I've had multiple treatments for recurrent cin 3 and hr hpv. Symptoms persist, infact getting worse. So I went back to my gp who reluctantly referred me for a transvaginal scan and abdo. I had this on Saturday but they wouldn't tell me at the time the results. I've had a msg from my go for a appointment tomorrow to discuss results. I'm terrified. And thinking the worst. 

Its coincidence that my 6 monthly smear was last week to so currently waiting on the results too. 

Just needed some support and hopefully some advise as if anybody has been through anything simular 

Thank you in advance xx

Oh Vicki,

 

I'm sorry to hear this but so pleased they are not making you wait.

 

My only advice is to try and do something tonight and tomorrow to really occupy your mind until your appointment.

 

The wait is always the worst part!

 

Sending love and hugs. And remember it doesn't mean its cancer, they could be telling you they have found a cyst, or fibroid, endometriosis or adenamyosis. All kinds of non-cancer related conditions that are treatable.

 

Please let us know how you get on xx

Thank you for your reply, currently trying to get lost in netflix, but can't stop googling. My gp appointment is tomorrow, so I need to to stop presuming the worst. Thats how I've always coped thought if the worst and hoped for the best. That way I feel prepared. Xx

When I was, really struggling with the black hole that is Dr Google, I put my phone away in a bedroom drawer so that I wasn't tempted and turned it off.

 

It really helped.

 

Keeping everything crossed for you lovely xx

Thank you I really think I need to do that, fingers crossed for tomorrow, I'll try to stay away from Google. 

Really helps to talk to someone who understands, ill let you know what the doctor says tomorrow xx

Hi Vickilu,

Did you say the appointment is with your GP? I think if it was anything very serious you would be called in to a specialist at the hospital rather than an appointment with the GP. I know it's hard not to worry and waiting for results is anxiety inducing. I hope you can take your mind off things while you're waiting.

Good luck with it!

Lots of love,

Xx

Hiya yes appointment tomorrow is with gp following a tansvaginal scan.  Currently still waiting for smear results also,  Pain recently has been excruciating thats why i pushed for a scan. Was hoping for ct scan but this is what the sent me for  xx

Let us know how it goes tomorrow.

I hope you get a good sleep tonight. Definitely stay away from Google. There's no point trying to guess what the appointment is tomorrow. You will only worry yourself more.

Good luck for tomorrow,

Xx

So I rang the doctors today to make the appointment, but nothing available until Tuesday. More waiting around. Trying to focus on this not being urgent xx

Absolutely, the lack of urgency is a positive sign! If you are feeling anxious you could try requesting a phone call from a doctor. I suppose at least you know now you just have to get to Tuesday before you know more. Try to take it easy till then and do things to take your mind off it. Also, I really think if it was anything too complex you would be seeing a specialist not your GP. The waiting is just the worst!

Thinking of you.
