Hiya Caz... I hope you have an appointment to see a gynaecologist soon who can tell you more about the polyp and what treatment you may need. Best wishes.. LW x

hi my wonderful friends, i got letter from my consultant in UK as he wants my GP refers me for a general gynaecology appointment. My consultant wrote: The management of my abnormal smears and CIN 2 are separate to my present problems and unlikely to be related. He knows that my menstrual irregularity preceded my presentation to the colposcopy clinic. I am due for follow up cytology in March of 2010 after the LLETZ procedure performed in August...

I think with work you are with your rights to ask for either time off or to do something where there's access to loos. You have had a surgical procedure. Talk to your GP about it. As for your husband - who does he think he is. Sorry but no one deserves to go through any kind of medical treatment. This is NOT self inflicted. If my husband said that to me he'd be kicked into touch sharpish. Z

brilliant news xxxx

[b] But a second cone biopsy often discovers more progessed cancer cells missed by the first, so it's really worth having if the indications are that way. [/b] Hi Pandaface, Re the above, can you let me know whether you remember the journal that this was in because I am having my second cone on Monday due to them finding 3 areas of microinvasive cancer (unexpected) without clear margins for CIN3. My gynae onco has told me that although...

hi faith, please dont beat yourself up over this, i know how you feel as i had not gone for a smear for 10 years and then went i finally went in aug my results came back as severe dyskariosis and i have just had colp and then lletz under GA to remove abmormal cells. like you i was so annoyed at myself for ignoring my own health for so long but the important thing is that you have now booked a smear and hopefully all will be well. take care and...

Hi Sandy I have to meet the consultant on Tuesday to discuss treatment ( by this I think he means the LA/GA thing) I suppose he'll try to get me to have it under LA, he's wasting his time though ! At least I can ask him some questions, I have a list as long as my arm! Keep after them about results , hopefully you'll have some answers soon Paula xx

I find that incredible. I've just had a 6 month follow up colposcopy and smear. Colposcopy and biopsies showed VAIN 3 for which I'm having surgery in a couple of weeks. However, the smear was only borderline. Had I only had a smear, they wouldn't have done anything, just monitored it because the result was borderline. They should apply the same standards across the country. Z xx

Hi Rosebud, If you are London based we are having a meet up, so perhaps you could come join us. We all need each other. If not London based perhaps see if there is one in your area. I am a couple of months behind you, just found out I have CIN3 and awaiting gyny appointment. Keep posting and vent your feelings. Big kisses. xxx
