I’m having a bit of a tricky time with anxiety at the moment due to some health related issues (been referred under the 2 week pathway to see a dermatologist about a skin lesion )
Anyway I’m also panicking about my upcoming smear test which I’m ashamed to say is 8 months late. I’m now convinced that I’ve left it too late and I’ll have some serious cell changes when I get the test results. Many years ago I had a colposcopy for low grade changes but nothing further happened and no treatment etc. The last couple of smears were clear.
I’ve had some abdominal /pelvic pain recently which has been more noticeable than usual and I also had what I thought was a small amount of mid cycle blood recently.
I’m 100% not pregnant or have any STDs.
I’m now focusing on the pains in my abdomen and thinking the worst.
I feel terrible that I’ve left this so late. I honestly hadn’t realised how many months had gone by. It doesn’t help that coronation street (UK soap opera) has just had a huge cervical cancer storyline and I was reading so many comments from ladies about how they’d caught their cell changes ‘just in time’ etc.
Does anyone have any similar stories , I feel so anxious about it all.
