I am terrified...

Wow Marie, I don't know what to say. It's hard not to worry when the doctor told you "IF you dont hear anything then there is nothing to worry about", and then they call you. I would be worried too. But TRY not to jump to conclusions as you don't even know for certain what is going on yet. Then again this post is 3 days old... I hate to ask, but did you find out what is going on? Sending virtual hugs your way. You deserve some.

sorry to hear about the pregnancy do not worry marie,it sounds like a routine call back, you would need to go to the hospital for further tests...this does not mean cancer, many many women have cervical changes without it ever leading to cancer, you must be calm and listen to what they say to you....take someone with you...i have to say that if the changes were very worrying they would call you to the hospital there and then...not make you wait for an appointment

Courage, Marie. It is understandable that you freaked out but what you need to do now is to call the doctor back and explain that his words went over the top of your head because you were so worried about it and could he please tell you again what he said. When you really take in what he is saying it may not be as bad as you think. Also, they often ask you to come in for a chat if it is really bad news. It would be rather cruel to give bad news over the phone.

Take a deep breath and try to relax. When you get your composure call the doctor back and ask to speak to him and get the details again. He will understand and the more you know, the less to be frightened of. I hope your tests/biopsies come back normal. But in the meantime, don't worry yourself too much. I've had 3 daughters with abnormal cells and 1 which had to have several surgeries and everything worked out. She had to go back for testing every 3 months but today she is back in the normal range, thank God! Hugs and good luck hon!

The best thing that you can do right now is to clam down and wait til the results are revealed to you. There are many possibilities that may happen and it could just be simple problem that you need to know. You are right by not telling your BF yet as you do not know yet what it really is. Don't think of it so much and relax and wait for your time to worry if that would be the case.

Hello,marie,sorry to hear that,but at this moment,you should be positive as you have not had the check yet,everything is fine at this moment,I hope you will be fine and your boyfriend and family will give you full support. Take care of yourself.

i am so sad to hear this. please... i hope the doctors will not say it's cancer. you had been a good friend to me here and it will make me sad and others, too if you'll be suffering from it. i and others will stay positive for you that it's not what you thought of. and you'll give us good news later. oh, i really hope it's not cancer. take care marie.

Don't give up Hope I'm sure things will work out for you and things will be fine... I wish you all the best with everything...

i have also had the dreaded phone call and the following letter seeting out the need for a further check. The words the dr used would go on the lines of changes have been found and/or abnormal cells have been found. IT DOES NOT MEAN CANCER. One of the things a smear can pick up is signs of infection, another can be pre-cancerous cells that can be quickly treated. It really is a good idea to call the dr back and get him/her to explain what it means i wish you well blessed be

I don't know what it is you have but it's probably nothing. Sometimes doctors just want to be sure and do further tests to make sure it's nothing serious. I had an abnormal pap smear and it was like what you described. The doctor himself called me (usually, it's just a nurse) to ask me to go back to the clinic for further testing. They did further tests, then referred me to a gynaecologist to do MORE tests. But it all turned out to be negative. I was really worried too when this was all happening to me. It took almost 2 months of testing before they confirmed that is was nothing serious. Now, I have to just go back for regular check-ups. I hope yours will also turn out to be nothing serious.

Hello marie. I already said my piece on my PM for you. I can understand how terrified and scared you are now. Like what I said, there is nothing definitive yet. You will always be in my prayer and once again, have courage.

Hi Marie! I realize this discussion was posted a week ago but I have been away and am just getting to responding to my friends. I hope by now you have found out some good news. Keep the faith honey and think positive. I will be looking for an update on your health and I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. ~Sherry~

Hun relax! Having an an abnormal smear does not mean that you have cancer. It may just mean repeating your test a bit sooner than normal and further investigation at the hospital.

Believe me I understand your fears! Two years ago I went in for surgery so that the doctor could determine if she was able to fix the problem so I could have a baby. Not only could they not fix it but 4 months later I had a complete hysterectomy. I was devasted. Having said that the worst things you can do when fighting cancer is think negatively and go it alone, tell all your friends and family so that they can support you! Even though I know you are scared you have to be strong and positive and believe that no matter what you will beat it. Besides get the facts first before you panic so that you will know what you are dealing with, everyone always thinks the worst when they get called.

I know it sounds scary, but don't worry yet. I went through a similar thing...unfortunately I had cervical dysplasia stage three...which was very bad. I had to undergo laser surgery. However...I had regular paps after that and so far I have been fine. I was having some pain so I went in today for a scope and exam...so now I wait for the results. You have to tell your boyfriend...he will be the support you may need. However...wait and see..and try not to worry.

First off I don't know how doctors are in Sweden.But when I webnt for a pap smear here in the U.S. and something was wrong they made me come in right a way and discuss what was wrong.Then set up an appointment.I had cervical cancer and was taken care of the very next day.I am fine now because it was caught early.If you go to the doctor on a regular basis I am sure if it is cancer you will be fine.I had cancer when I was 23 and I am now 44 and have no signs whatsoever.You might want to call your doctor and ask what is wrong.I know you are in a dae right now with worry but it might not be as bad as you think.Please stop crying you don't know what is wrong yet.Be positive and strong,that is the only way you can get threw this.Please let me know what happens in a private message.My mom had cancer since she was 34 she had only 1 year to live.I got her on hemeopathy and she lived until 72.I can ask my hemeopahty doctor what you should take.I am here for you as so many other my lotters.You are my friend now so pm me when you want.

Oh, Marie, I am so sorry that you are terrified..it is completely normal feeling right now....try not to panic...your imagination will run wild if you do not try to stay calm and wait to find out what the results really were...it does not sound like you really know at this point.... I think that it is human nature to always think the worst possible scenario first....... Once you truly know...although it will be scary, my friend....it will truly be easier in the sense that you will be able to educate your self about all of the options that you have at that point.... Please try to take care of yourself...let us know what is going on because many of us will want to know...you have a support system here.....You will be in my prayers, my friend....

Ok, take a deep breathe! I am sorry you are feeling so terrified, it is understandable, but don't create things in your mind that aren't there. Doctors often just want to be extra careful which is likely the case here since you had the problem with your pregnancy. Better safe than sorry, just keep telling yourself that you are double checking to be safe. What you think about you bring about - the law of attraction! Sit down right now, take several deep breathes and start imagining yourself as a healthy, vital person. You don't KNOW that anything is actually wrong so don't attract those thoughts to yourself. Be strong, and keep us updated. Be well, sweetie.

I know you are very scared, but having to have an additional test in no way means that you have cancer. Try to calm down and take it one step at a time. Hopefully, the doctor is just checking to make sure that you are okay and she will find nothing further. Think positively!

:(((( why did you get terrified??? just be calm and relax and even if there was something then think of the pisitive side.. that you've discovered it soon enough!! and don't look at the bad side, it'll only do you more harm.. Good luck...
