    Abnormal smear result

    Hi there. My sister has just had an abnormal smear result and I'm really worried about her. She was a year late having her test, she had a normal result 4 years ago. Shes got to have a biopsy next tuesday. Does this mean it's really bad? is it standard to have a biopsy after an abnormal result. Anyone else had this? My sisters like my best friend and I'm so worried.

    Love Louise xxxxxxxxxx

    Of course you are worried- but from what I understand a biopsy is routine after an abnormal smear. And a gynaecologist once told me that from the first abnormal cell changes it usually takes about a decade for cancer to develop (if it does at all).... so it would be INCREDIBLY unlikely for your sister to have developed serious changes in just 4 years. So she will be fine.

    Very normal. I had 2 abnormal smears, mild changes, and they biopsied me both times just to confirm that the smear is correct and they haven't missed anything. Same with a few of my friends. They had high grade changes and again biopsied. One friend had cells removed. My last smear was normal. Hope this helps X

    My mum has abnormal cells removed 20 years ago because her smear came back dodgy. She’s been fine ever since with normal smears x
