I can stop worrying

Hi, today I went to the colposcopy clinic and had Cells removed and sent away for testing.

I'm am mum of 4 one of which is less than a year and can't stop thinking I'm going to be diagnosed with cancer and die 
I have always attended my routine smear on time but the last one was due just as I found out I was pregnant so was delayed by quite a while. I've never had abnormal results before so it was a total shock.

my symptoms have been lower back pain to the right, very minimal streaky discharge but no bleeding. Sometimes I've felt like I have thrush but no discharge or smell. I have been treated over the phone for water infections three times in a row (due to COVID haven't been able to see a doc) sometimes the need to pee comes from nowhere and I can barely hold it!

Anyway, not sure what I'm trying to achieve by writing on here but I am worried sick that my kids will be without their mum

  • Hello Curly66

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some symptoms recently which have results in attending for a colposcopy. It's natural to be worried about things and I think most of our members here will understand that waiting for test results can be a particularly difficult time. 

    IT may help for you to have a chat with one of our nurses. I'm sure they will be able to offer you some advice and support. If you'd like to speak to them they are available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Best wishes,
