Hello all,

Apologies if long..

So it started with severe pain in the womb a few weeks ago. After US, CT scan, smears, biopsies, a week long hospital stay ( I've been home for a week) I had a colcoscopy appointment today. The very lovely consultant explained that as well as the mass my smear showed abnormal cells ( glandular?). 1st biopsy inconclusive and dont think the 2nd has been completed . So she wanted to do a LLETZ procedure. This was attempted but because of bleeding and my history of blood accumulation in the womb she felt it would be better to be prepared and have it done under general anaesthetic. She reassured me I'd be contacted with 2/3 days for a pre op and given a date for it.

I am absolutely terrified that this is really looking to me like cancer. My last smear was in 2018 and it was fine. This just seems to have really aggressively appeared from nowhere.

I'm 41, no sign of menopause and am lucky to have 4 children age range 22 to 10.

I just need reassurance I guess and some positivity. Or is it really what I'm thinking and this is it..

Many thanks in anticipation of any advice or support.
