Hello Leeanne, 

I just wanted to say hello and welcome you to our friendly community. I've noticed that you have already made contact in other threads with other ladies who find themselves in a similar situation and I hope that it will have reassured you a little to feel that you are not alone. It is normal to fear the worst as you also remember what your mum went through but try not to draw any parallel between what happened to your mum and your own situation which may well be completely different. So many ladies have abnormal smear results but this really doesn't mean that they have cervical cancer. You can find out more information on our website about what it means to have abnormal cervical cells and you can also read more about what to expect from the colposcopy here. I hope all this will reassure you and that talking to other ladies here who have been there before will help. Should you wish to have a chat with our nurses, you can call them on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. They will be happy to answer any questions you may have and to talk to you about all this. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator

Hi lucie 

tanks for your reply and the links to the information, I am glad to see I'm not alone in feeling anxiety over this situation it seems there are a lot of ppl out there going through the same thing. 
 

I am trying to remain calm and positive. 
 
can you tell me if they would automatically send me for a colposcopy after having 3 tests in a row with minor changes ? I am super lucky that I don't have to wait to long for the colposcopy only another two days and I will have a clearer picture of what is going on, I guess it's just a massive fear of mine and always has been with everything my mum went through. 
 

many thanks
