Welcome to my world...

*Sorry for the in depth info, but if you're offended by a woman talking about her period and smears then don't read on and maybe get your head out of your arse. Some of you may have seen my earlier post regarding my smear test results. Some abnormal cells were found and I needed to have colposcopy. I was told I could wait until after my holiday for this and so I tried to put it out of my mind. Then I recieved a phone call on Wednesday asking me to attend a clinic on Thursday morning, I made the appointment but then I came on my period and was under the impression that this meant my appointment would be rescheduled, however I was then told that based on my smear results I still had to attend. This obviously scared the crap out of me. Anyway.. I turned up for my appointment, was greeted by less than sympathetic reception staff and sent to sit in a waiting room in tears. Then I was rescued by a wonderful nurse, she saw straight away that I was obviously anxious, upset and in need of reassurance. She took me in to see the doctor and everything was explained to me in the kindest way possible. The colposcopy itself was obviously uncomfortable but no where near as terrifying as I was expecting. Unfortunately they have found some pre-cancerous cells and these will need removing. This procedure was not carried out today as I go on holiday soon and the cell removal can cause bleeding for 3 weeks! (Serious holiday ruiner) And yes I know the treatment is more important than a holiday but 2 weeks won't make a difference and the amount of stress and tears this has caused me gives me the right to some rest and relaxation. Thank you to everyone who offered me words of support and love. This wasn't the outcome I was hoping for but at least something is being done. I know smear tests are scary and embarrassing and icky but cancer isn't exactly a walk in the park is it... please don't fear the smear. I do not want to shame people into going for theirs, I just want people to know it is NOT as horrendous as you think it is. I'm here to listen or chat if anyone needs it #smear #dontfearthesmear #colposcopy #nhs #cervicalscreening #papsmear #cervicalcancer #anxiety #love

I remember my brother being Pratchett mad when we were younger but I was never interested. I tried reading his books when I was in my 20s but I just wasn't feeling it... It seems I am at last mature (or immature) enough to appreciate him! #terrypratchett #thecolourofmagic #reading #bookstagram #reader #lovereading

Here's this month's read 😁 William Coniston is a fabulous writer, he's very funny and he's from Yorkshire, so what more do you need really...? This was supposed to be reserved for my holidays but I couldn't help myself! #williamconiston #yorkshire #whitby #mice #miceagent #abookamonth #reader #reading #indieauthor

Well... that ruined my plans. I was just fancying some pieces of blind fittings... 🤦‍♀️ #donoteat #blindfitting #diy #notfood #metaleater

This is precisely what you don't want to receive after your smear test. It's scary, it fills me with dread, anxiety and fears of the worst possible outcome. And I recieved it on a Saturday, when I can't phone the doctors to discuss it! But... at the same time I'm thinking, if it is what we all dread then at least there is a chance of something being done, and if it is actually nothing then no harm done. However, if I hadn't gone for my cervical screening in the first place I wouldn't know anything and if it's nothing then you could argue that I've been put through this stress and anxiety for nothing but if it is something then it can be dealt with. I'm not advocating or protesting about smear tests, many women choose to not have them and they have their own personal reasons why. But for those who know they should go but can't out of embarrassment or fear, I assure you it's not as bad as you think it is. Yes, it's uncomfortable and it's certainly not a pleasure cruise! But it's over in minutes. Then it's done. I don't want to scare people by sharing this, I want to show how important it can be to have your smear test done. Without it I wouldn't know about whatever this is (hopefully nothing). If anyone has been for a colposcopy and would like to give me some reassurance, that would be great, because I'm actually more scared about the procedure than the results at the moment! #smeartest #cervicalscreening #colposcopy #fear #anxiety #share #love #calm #reassure #nhs
