Back worried about cervical cancer

[Beckie4567]

Hi I've posted here before about spotting very light after intercourse and I'm in a panic again I had many more internals last year which showed an ectroption which they sed was the likely cause. I wasn't satisfied with this and decide to have a smear test privately which thankfully came back normal but the spotting continues and u can't help think it's something else even tho they sed its the ectroption . I havnt had an internal for a year now to check it and going next Wednesday but I'm petrified there gona find something worse or it will look bad :( I do the think I'll be satisfied until I have a colposcopy has anyone else experienced ectroptions if so if u could tell me your story I wud appreciate it thanks x

Has no one had an erosion before?

[swgrl09]

A lot of people have. Have a search on the board for it and I'm sure you'll find some older threads. I remember reading about people with similar on here a lot.

[Sam100322]

You keep posting about this no matter how many people give you advice you ignore them the doc practacly told you you haven't got it. Stop worrying get on with your life.

[Beckie4567]

I havnt kept. Posting about it thanks

[Fishmanpa]

I havnt kept. Posting about it thanks

With all due respect Beckie, the vast majority of your post history is about this (I refrained from C&Ping all the threads). In fact, the very first post from April of 2014 is about this. How's that home course of CBT going? When's your 1st appointment for therapy?

Positive thoughts

[Beckie4567]

Yeah and it's still happening the symptoms so it's worrying for me I don't think someone can just turn round and say u don't have cc . It's been going on for over a year now so something isn't right

[Elen]

Speak to your therapist about all of this Becky

[Beckie4567]

I will do but I cant blame everything on anxiety .anxiety dosnt cause bleeding after intercourse ?? So something must be wrong ��

[Beckie4567]

Cant take it anymore I've been plagued with worry every day for a year sand a half since it all started I've had enough want to enjoy my Li !;; butt I can't move on from it its ruining my life .

[unfitwellhappy]

I will do but I cant blame everything on anxiety .anxiety dosnt cause bleeding after intercourse ?? So something must be wrong ��

Not necessarily - even if there was something wrong, there is 100 things it is more likely to be than something serious..

Talk to your therapist..

[Beckie4567]

Just don't no what to do anymore so scared

[unfitwellhappy]

Beckie - I have had anxiety for nearly 20 years now... you need to listen to me when I say this..

Nobody on here is going to give you the answers you seek - reassurance isn't going to help you - you need to speak with your therapist as they are the professional.

I know it's frightening, but that's the reality of it - life can be frightening at times (even if you don't suffer with anxiety) - you need to learn how to cope with your worries and how to live life...

You need to speak with your therapist.

[Beckie4567]

Thanks strugglingg

[little.miss.worry]

I agree with Paul.. 100%

I mean, it must be ruining your life. Honestly, worrying day in and day out.. I know we all have done here, don't get me wrong. But there's a point where you know you need to change. And you should be at this point now. It's got to the point where posting doesn't help. And it's sad to know, none of us can help you. Only yourself at this point. Your anxiety is a massive issue that needs to be sorted soon for yours, and your families sake

[Beckie4567]

Thankyou for your post x

I've got an appointment at docs this morning I mean I'm hoping after two years if it was v c my symptoms wud of got worse or someone wud if seen something on internel but they were all focused on the ectroption

[pulisa]

You need to see your therapist rather than have yet another GP appointment in my opinion.

[Beckie4567]

No because I need to get it sorted its gone on too long

Can I ask wud any of u worry about a symptom that has been going on for nearly two years ? Wud u except its nothing if it was u

[Elen]

Beckie so far this year you have been convinced you have cancer of the breast, back, ovaries, vagina, a brain tumour in your son and that is just from memory.

This is the matter that needs addressed.

Heaven forbid you do actually get diagnosed with any of these but it is not a death sentence, it is something you would have to deal with.

You don't want to say goodbye to your kids. From personal experience, having a mother who was constantly dying from one thing or another, you are already saying goodbye to them.

Just humour us, print out some of your posts and show them to your therapist and GP to show them what you are dealing with.

Perhaps if you take this step you will find people more willing to engage with your posts.

At the minute you are begging for re-assurance then throwing everyone's good intentions back at them by your refusal to follow any advice given.

This is frustrating and frankly very hurtful.

Until you take positive steps to help yourself I am going to try and stay out of further threads as your attitude towards me is making me feel ill.

[Superworrier]

Please don't be offeneded by this Hun as that's not my intention but it's really very difficult to read your threads and see the turmoil your putting yourself through .
Please take a step back and think for a moment .

I have only seen some of the threads but you do state you have had internal examinations "normal " smears plus you were given an medical explanation as to why you having spotting.

Cervical cancer does not just show itself with spotting many women experience that especially after intercourse .

You have had the checks to a point where I am not sure what more could be done to reasure you .

Please talk to you therapist and I mean that from the heart that is where your answers lie not at the Drs surgery .

In answer to your question if I had had it for two years and I had have had the tests you have and been given a clinical diagnosis I as to the cause was then yes I would take that diagnosis and work on the real issue .

[Em.ma]

Think of it this way.
If any one of us posted these symptoms and thought we had cancer what would you say to us? I can guarantee you wouldn't think we had cancer would you.
Speak to your gp about anti anxiety meds as well.

[Beckie4567]

I'm waiting now to go in ill let u no how I get on

---------- Post added at 10:53 ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 ----------

And ill ask about meds also

---------- Post added at 11:15 ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 ----------

I'm not throwing anyone's advice back at them I have been to a therapist who has now discharged me because she felt I was ready to and clearly not.im waiting to see doc now

---------- Post added at 12:20 ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 ----------

Went in she sed I def don't have v cancer I've had all the tests and humorous internels I voiced my concerns I asked about medication and she gave me citalopram she sed its worked for other people who have had it have any of u tryed this

[pulisa]

Your therapist made an interesting decision to discharge you.

Are you going to consider taking the citalopram? There's plenty of information about it on the meds section on NMP. Is your GP surprised that you were discharged from therapy?

[Elen]

Well done Beckie, this is a positive step.

Can't believe your therapist thought you were suitable for discharge. Perhaps they were not aware of how crippling these fears are for you.

There is advice on techniques to help HA on this website so they may well be worth looking at as well.

Would your husband be willing to help you look at these and work through things with you?

Having someone else to help challenge "faulty thinking" can be a huge help.

[Beckie4567]

Thankyou for tour comments I didn't want to go down medication route but I'm going to try it feel bit more positive.i no I felt better wen I was going to therapy but once I left its all got ob top of me
