Hi and thanks for the post

Some labs are very particular with the date of the smear and have been known to reject a smear, so waiting another 10 days most probably is wise as it's also not long in terms of making any difference to a result.

I can appreciate you would like it over and done with, but best to wait when you know it will definitely be processed.

Abnormal cells are not cancer and it would take about 10 yrs of untreated cells for it to become a problem - the screening programme is all about prevention and so it's good that you have been up to date with all your smears. It is frustrating but make the appointment now and at least it's done.

All the best

Hello Amanda,

I see that you have had many responses about this from the nurse team in previous posts.  So we do feel that there is nothing more we can say except that if you have any concerns about your health that you should go and speak with your GP.  

I hope you will be okay.

Take care,

Caroline
