6 mths ago o had an abnormal smear I had to have treatment ( cells frozen )
Now this ? I'm freaking big time
I can understand how this letter would make you very anxious but it doesn't mean there is anything serious going on. They want to check for any abnormal changes which is a good thing. Hopefully they won't be and everything will be fine but if there is some small chance that there are any problems, it will have been caught early. :hugs::hugs::hugs:
It would only turn to cancer if you were not treated , doesn't mean you have cancer they may just laser away the cells, easier said than done I know but relax it's very common to get called in my cousin who's 23 has the same and they just do yearly smears on her to check for changes , if any changes are found they can be dealt with before they turn into cancer x

Ok cool. I am at Addenbrookes next Monday for an appointment. I live in Bedfordshire so not far from you
My neighbour has just been to see me and she has been told the same thing today and has to go and get checked.

I had a string of abnormal smears 10 years ago. I too had HPV but they didnt do a colposcopy immediately - i had to have 3 abnormals then referral, then another 3 abnormals and the colposcopy. When they eventually got round to doing the colposcopy i had CIN3. I had all the cells burned out and have had annual checks since and all have been clear. My last one showed no signs og HPV so have been told that I can go back to 3 yearly again but i think i will stick to yearly if allowed. I colposcopy is nothing really. If you have had your abnormal cells frozen off then you will have already had a colpscopy because thats what highlights whats abnormal.
I haven't personally had this letter but when I had my smear last year I was so anxious that I googled smear results endlessly for the whole 8 days of waiting for the results so I know this letter is sent to many people and is usually easily resolved. I can understand your worry though as when you have health anxiety something like this sends you over the edge.
