Cervical cancer

I was wondering if anyone can relate to my symptoms? 
I had a smear test last year and it came back positive for HPV so they asked me back a year later. Had it done 2 weeks ago and it's come back positive again and also with abnormal cells on my cervix so I have to go in for a coloscopy. I've been suffering with abnormal bleeding and pelvic and back pain since jan/feb time and feeling generally unwell and dizzy and tired. 

My mum also had abnormal smears when she was around my age (31) and ended up having a full hysterectomy at 40 as it turned out the laser treatment wasn't working and the cells turned cancerous. 
should I be worried? 

  • Hello Kelb,

    I appreciate that you are worried about the symptoms you have, but there's no way of knowing until further tests are done. Here is some information on the colonoscopy test, which I hope will make you feel more prepared. Also it might be worth writing down any questions you have ahead of your next appointment.

    I hope it goes ok,
