Hello,
I've not been around for a while but it looks like I'm not one of those 9/10 women :(
So had my LLetz last July, results came back as no cancer, clear margins but had progressed to CIN 3.
Just got the results to my 6 month follow up smear, good & less good news...
The smear was clear (yey) but I'm still HPV+. I've been asked back in 6months for "colp. to ensure the HPV resolves"
I'm not sure exactly if that means they think the HPV could still resolve itself now the abnormalities are gone, but I'm also obviously worried that it could progress again in these 6 months...
Here's how I'm trying to process...
Pros:
clear smear
No progression of abnormalities since July
No CC
Cons/Concerns:
Treatment did not cure HPV
Could progress & have to go back through the whole shebang (I'm now getting married in Oct so really didn't want it hanging over me)
Loads more waiting
I'm trying to focus on the idea that there is currently NOTHING "wrong" I'm just at a higher risk and am being monitored" but remembering that is hard! I just keep feeling so deflated that this isn't over...
Anyway, just wanted to empty my head :)
K
