Hey, sorry to hear about your worries. Let me just start off by saying that during a colposcopy they just look at your cervix more closely and may put a dye on it to see the area more clearly. If you are nervous about the procedure you should go and talk to your GP as they can offer advice and perhaps something to calm you down a little bit. I completely understand that you are worried but you really do need to be going to your hospital appointment. Sometimes cancer can be aggressive and spread more quickly so I would advise that you are going to be better off nipping this in the bud now rather than let it go on and make it worse for youself. If you don't want to discuss this with your partner perhaps you could take a friend with you. Aswell as this if you do decided to go to the appointment tell them that you are nervous and they will try and put you at ease. Serioulsy, you are better going to get it checked out sooner rather than later
