Hello all
so I had my colposcopy today following abnormal (high grade) cells found in my smear (I hadn't had one for 11 years which I know is so stupid!) I also have very watery discharge that is now tinged pink and pelvic pain
the nurse talked me through the lletz procedure before hand just in case they did it there and then but once the consultant looked he said he would Not be looking to do that. He took 3 biopsy's and I bled a lot I was there for what seemed like forever because he couldn't stop the bleeding :(
afterwards he said he had found a mass and that he was booking me in for an MRI straight away so that it was quicker than just waiting for the biopsy results. He didn't say it could be a cyst or anything like that...
although the nurses and doctor were so so lovely (god bless the NHS) No one told me it was nothing to worry about, he just said that following this he would have a meeting and then see how best to proceed with the next steps and be in touch with me soon. He told me they would look after me and wished me luck.
Do I have cancer? I feel like this is what was said without it actually being said :( or am I over reacting a bit?
I don't know if I should be telling my family what's happening of if I am worrying them unnecessarily... if anyone has been in a similar situation it would be such a huge help to know what to expect next.
thanks x
