Back ache and bleeding

[keaw]

I was at the dr for swabs yesterday due to having a random 12 day period and back ache and the nurse was concerned about my cervix bleeding when touched. She brought a dr in to see and she has said I need a gynaecology appointment within 2 weeks. I had some abnormal cells removed a few years ago and now I'm terrified I have cervical cancer. I have spent the whole night having panic attacks.

I'm sorry you're having such a frightening time - I'd be panicky, too. That said, there's every chance that there could be a perfectly simple and benign explanation for this.

Will be thinking of you.

It's tough, but you're stronger than you know. I have faith in you.

Are you using any particular strategies to cope with your anxiety?

My dr has doubled my citalopram from 20 to 40 today.

That's great! You may feel a bit wonky but it'll help in the long run.

Thanks, I hope so!
