"I had an abnormal smear last year and had to have the cells removed. Got to wait til the six months are up for another smear and fingers crossed all cells will have grown back normal. Anyone hesitating or putting it off just do it. " Me too, I had this done in January, the ladies who are awaiting results, I heard very quickly that I needed treatment, it was only 4 days later. So please don’t worry too much, and I hope you all hear soon x | |||

"Had mine on the 11th of this month got the results back really quick within a week all was good thankfully i was really worried as my last one was 9 year before i will never ever leave it that long again . The same goes for checking breasts I spent all of 2017 fighting breast cancer i discovered a lump while applying fake tan i had NEVER checked before if i hadnt found it that day it would not have been discovered until 3 years later at the routine mammogram if I reached 50 PLEASE take time to do regular checks Both guys and girls no matter what age x x x (Mrs)" That’s good advice about checking your breasts too. I hope you are on the road to recovery now. x | |||

"Mine was on Thursday... Anyone else struggle not to get horrifically turned on by the embarrassing nature and the speculum? No? Just be me? " You're not on your own there! Latex gloves and lube Being serious though, get it done. I had abnormal cells last year. Had colposcopy and lazer removal. Six months later had my next smear. Showed slight changes and told not to worry and don't need another smear for 3 years. I'll be pushing for one in a year as I went from having clear results every time to moderate changes. | |||

"Bumping this thread." Good shout, it's so important to go for these checks. A lady I work with is a year overdue, she's gone/going through menopause and hasn't had a period for 2 years but he's just started bleeding. She's going to hospital next week for scans etc 2 minutes could save you. | |||

"Who agrees on reducing the age from 25 to 18 I think it's a great idea x " Not possible. I’ve had arguments at the docs over this but apparently the risk of miscarriage later on in life is a lot higher if you have them done younger so that’s why they won’t. | |||

"Please keep up with your screening. Just a couple minutes of discomfort and embarrassment may prevent further invasive treatment or cancer later on. Even though I kept up all my appointments, I was recently diagnosed with CIN3 in May. After 2 treatments over the summer, I’m now having a hysterectomy on the advice of the consultant. Colposcopies are nothing to be frightened of. They’re lovely and very professional up at the hospital. I had a dedicated nurse chatting to me the whole time and they make you a cup of tea afterwards. We were all chatting together, even the consultant. Quite strange but funny scenario whilst having it done, have the consultant peer over my legs to occasionally chat to me, whilst he carried out the procedure! " Cup of tea flipping heck I was just shown the door after mine. | |||

"Who agrees on reducing the age from 25 to 18 I think it's a great idea x " Absolutely! It’s disgraceful that younger women are dying because they can’t get tested. I had my 1st test at 18, my gp at the time ignored guidelines and tested every woman who had ever been sexually active regardless of age. At age 19 I had laser removal of abnormal cells. If it were not for my doctor and her blatant ignoring of guidelines I would most likely not be here now! | |||

I'll never forget the day my cousin died. He obviously didn't have anything wrong with his female anatomy, but he'd been through treatment after treatment from the age of 7 until 32. When it came back elsewhere the last time he'd given up. Refused treatment. I saw him the day before he died, even though he was hooked up to morphine we had the best time, we laughed, we cried, we said our goodbyes and I've never seen another human being in all of my time with a look of such relief on their face. He was tired and ready. We were more like brother and sister growing up and it still breaks my heart thinking of all the pain he endured, the uncertainty, the bad news again and again. Once he made his decision he planned, he planned everything for his own funeral, so it was just so and perfect. | |||

Aged 14, virgin, never had a ‘proper’ boyfriend, second time ever examined, first time with the consultant (Chinese woman), beng slapped on my belly and being shouted out to ‘relax’. My mother to this day says how horrible she was... I find them now much more transparent with their treatments and knowledge, their friendliness (I’m on first name terms with my consultant), asking for consent to do things (had nurse practitioner today at my pre-op, ask for my consent to take my blood) and once in the system, how quick they work (booked in for hysterectomy within 6 weeks). Perhaps it depends which health authority you’re in on how you’re treated. | |||

"I’m up to date with my smear and my bowel testing. The joys of turning 50. I had mesh removed in January and have since been told I have gallstones, Diverticulitis and an inflamed bowel. I’ve to go for another MRI. " Have the gallstones been bothering you? If I had the chance over again, I’d spend 6 months at least trying alternatives to surgery: don’t get me wrong I’m not in pain or suffering , but I do miss my gallbladder on a daily basis | |||

"I had a lletz procedure 2 weeks ago to remove grade 2 (cin2) pre cancerous cells. I went 11 years since my previous smear (no particular excuse, just something I never made time for or was too keen on). Waiting for results of the lletz now to see if they renoved it all and to make sure there was nothing more discovered. My smear originally showed "borderline" changes and when I went for colposcopy and she took a biopsy she said it was only to check if I would need a repeat smear in a year or return to the normal 3 years. So I had a shock when I had the letter saying they had found cin 2 and I needed treatment. Fingers crossed this result won't be any worse." Thinking of you fingers crossed x storm x | |||

To give you something positive...your story is exactly the same as mine.... if it wasn't for the 11 year gap i would have had to check to see if I'd written it!!! I've just got the results from my lletz and no pre cancer was found so I just need to go for a further smear in 6 months and if that is normal it's back to 3 yearly tests. It's a huge sigh of relief over here that's for sure! | |||
