MY CERVICAL CANCER STORY | my normal cells, symptoms of cervical cancer and diagnosis (stage 2B)

- Hi lovelies
Firstly, if you’ve taken time out of your day to watch and listen to my story, thank you so much.
Opening up about personal things isn’t something I’m good at but having experienced cervical cancer, I like to tell people what I’ve been through, in the hope that it might inspire women to attend their smear test and learn the signs and symptom of cervical cancer.
When you’re armed with knowledge about these things, you’re giving yourself the best possible chance of making sure you never have to through it yourself.
In the UK, we are very lucky to be given the opportunity to prevent cervical cancer in most cases. It’s a privilege and we should all see it that way.
I attended my smear test and had normal results but due to my type of cancer being aggressive, my cells changed and developed into stage 2B cervical cancer within 14 months.
The statistics of women not attending their smear tests are way too low. Please use what you’ve seen in my video as encouragement to book your smear test if it’s overdue, to book an appointment with your GP if something’s happening to your body which isn’t normal for you and to share the message with your friends and family.
Life is hectic and making time for yourself isn’t always easy but please make your health a priority and put booking your smear test at the top of your to-do list, where it should be!!

I'm guessing those of us watching this are going through the diagnosis process. I wish us all well and the best outcomes possible.
Praying for you ❤
I was 25 years when I found out I needed a biopsy after a Pap test showed abnormal cells, result..cervical cancer stage 3. Now 10 years later I’m struggling with late effects of cancer treatments such us vaginal scars, dryness, abdominal crucial pains, osteoporosis, early menopause, constipation, fatigue and much more. I’m a healthy woman but after 10years of cancer(now age of 35) ..I’m grateful to be alive , just this such late sides effects of cancer treatments were so unexpected like a reminder “hello remember me..Cancer” prayers to all you women out there
I’m sorry to hear you are dealing with such horrible side effects. I can definitely relate to a few of those you listed since my treatment ended around 5 years ago x
Yeah my bosses wife had colorectal cancer and from the radiation she ended up getting vaginal cancer and needs a hip replacement and a really young age. They need to find a better treatment for cancer because chemo and radiation comes with too much boomerang effects. My father in laws heart was destroyed by chemo and his kidney function ruined from radiation- the cancer came back and they said they can’t give him anymore chemo and radiation because it will do him in at this point. When the treatment can cause your demise that’s unacceptable.
God will recover u. ❤much love
Can you please reach out to me
Prayer to everyone who have cancer and may god help everyone to beat it
Amen
AMEN🙏
Amen
Aameen
Amen
Thanks for sharing this story. I just had an appointment today for a lump I felt on my cervix. Turns out it is a nabothian cyst. But I didn’t appreciate the way the doctor made me feel like I was overreacting. The reason I made the appointment is because of the people like you who speak out which I am thankful for. We have to advocate for ourselves because I don’t believe doctors do it enough.
Wow, what an amazingly strong, honest, and well articulated lady you are! I pray all is well with you. I was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer in Oct 22, Stage 3 and it's been my purpose to educate women on the subtle symptoms. Ovarian cancer is not caused by a virus (like cervical cancer is) and it can not be detected by a pap smear. At this time there are no simple diagnostic screenings for ovarian cancer other than a blood test called CA125. The CA125 test can pick up certain types of cancers in the blood. My only 2 symptoms were frequent urination and constipation, ladies please pay attention to your bodies, don't dismiss symptoms that persist. Demand a CA125 test-we have to be our own patient advocate sometimes.
This is so crazy, thank you for sharing this! I’ve had stool consistency changes since July 2022 and now almost a year later and having a clear colonoscopy I just got an abnormal pap and I thought that maybe it could be something in my reproductive organs impeding on my colon. Now thanks to you I at least know how to order a test to find out!
Thank you so much my ca125 was7.20 is that normal i have swollen belly and pain i pee alots ,loss of weight and im exhausted
I literally paused your video to book my smear test when I first watched it, I had been putting it off because I had a baby just 7 months ago and told myself that if something was wrong they would have found it then so I’m fine. My cells have come back abnormal and I’ve to be sent for investigation, I’m only 24. Thank you.
Hi the same happen to me
What happened after
How did you book one early?
Hope all goes well for you.🙏🏼😍🏘️
This was what happened to me! AND FYI, I TOOK THE TURKEY TAIL WHILE BREASTFEEDING
copying my reply for another post. My goal is to prevent others from having to go through cryo, leep, and cone biopsies.
I personally took Host Defense brand powder of Turkey Tail Mushrooms, both my husband and I at 4 grams for 6 months (I continued for a year), we did not have intercourse for 3 months while we supplemented in case it was possible to reinfect each other (no one said it could, we just took that extra step). I'm proud to say 7 years later we continue to test negative for all HPV strands and NO abnormal paps! I came for my checkup, doc said there was some dysplasia and he setup a biopsy. I just happened to learn about a study on AHCC mushroom extract (extract of shiitaki) being used in a study in Texas on effects from HPV cervical cancer. The cost of that supplement was way overpriced due to the study and since Turkey Tail is in the same basidiomycetes family, I took my chances. Praise God, it worked! My doctor had nothing to biopsy and continued to test me for HPV every 3 month, then 6 month, then yearly. He was so confused because he said HPV doesn't just disappear like that. Look into it. It's literally like 20 bucks. It is tasteless, side effect less, and even his own mother took it alongside chemo in breast cancer treatment at 90 years old.
While I don't know if the FDA has approved its use, the results from Texas studies showed positive results.
I want to say to check out Turkey Tail or AHCC with PUBMED, NIH.GOV for their studies. It is good for breast, ovarian, uterine,, colon, etc. Also, you may want to look into iodide/iodine, but just remember the virus is in the body, the bloodstream, some viruses like Herpes gets trapped in the spinal fluid. So, while you can continue to cut and remove things from your body, it will not remove the virus and it will begin attaching to another area, lungs, breast, etc. It is best to address and eliminate the virus. Turkey tail and AHCC has been shown to do this to HPV. Please do some research. It was an active study that was going on when I was facing these things and I literally experimented on myself.
Cheers mate ❤️❤️
I was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer stage 3 last year and survived it!
Now I am sharing all of my experience about this to raised awareness ❤️
How did u find out
That’s amazing.. I’m so happy for you
Did you have a irritating lower back pain
@@Justice2020LNH yeap, it won't go away even I went for massage and chiropractor. Never thought it was one of the symptoms of cervical cancer
@@jermainemyrie4882 by gynecologist.
I had a Pap in August 2022 and was told that the results were negative. 2 months later I was told I had stage 2 cervical cancer! Paps don't always pick up abnormal cells especially if the cancer is deep in the uterus! So just be aware that it's tricky to pick up ladies. I'm still healing from a total hysterectomy and just waiting on for my first consultation with Radiology.
I hope you’re doing better now ❤
How are you doing?
I feel you need to know that YOU are the sole reason I woke up this morning and made an urgent appointment for a PAP. They got me in at 1pm today based on my symptoms.
I’ve watched a million of these kinds of videos but YOU have a way about you. I can’t put my finger on it but you spoke to me. I had a PAP 13 months ago. It was fine. I’ve had an abnormal in the past but got cleared after a colposcopy and follow ups.
I’m 37, married with 2 natural children and 2 step kids as well as 2 grandchildren.
Within 6 months I went from normal (have a ton of separate medical issues but not related ) to totally terrified and so Poorly. Bleeding after sex and getting worse. Bloating, gained 20 pounds since a checkup 3 weeks ago. Pelvic pain, sex pain, ect ect ect. I could be writing all night. I broke down hearing your story. I can’t imagine. I’m done having kids. Tubes are tied. However, I don’t want to die. I have kids I NEED to see grow up and be there for. My dad just went into remission with recital stage 3. So I’m scared. Not sure if it’s cervical, ovarian(recently had a dermoid cyst (not the good kind but had follow up and they didn’t seem concerned).
One positive is that my doc did not SEE anything while doing the pap except for the first time ever there was a ton of blood. I couldn’t believe it and her face was telling. Results in a few days. Blood works tomorrow comes in, and I had an abdominal and pelvic X-ray (not sure this can show a ton). She wants to rule out constipation. As if people bleed from the vagina because they are full of shit. Ugh. I have soooo many other stuff going on and should have went a long time ago but kept putting it off.
YOUUUUUUU convinced me somehow. I’m stubborn so it’s a big deal for me and felt you needed to know. I have no answers and if things turn out fine I will be elated but puzzled. Either way, if you effect me in this way than I know your story is going to help sooooo many women. I will be following and keep it up!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Michelle. I’m so glad watching my video made you book your appointment? How did it go? Hope you are ok x
What happened?
What happened now?
Were you OK afterall?🙏♥️
Hi Meg. I am just awaiting a scan to check I am still clear but yes. I am almost 5 years clear and hopefully cured if all is well with my next scan results x
You’re a strong woman . Same with Me . I had my surgery done this year and now cancer free.
Hi ma'am what Anu stage poh kayu?nag treatment pa kayu?
@@HermieJoySerra Stage 1B - I had done alot of test then biopsy then my oncologist told me I needed surgery so I had hysterectomy done.
I myself maybe when I was 27 or so had abnormal cells, thankfully 🙏🏼I took it in hand and thought this abdominal pain isn't normal pain, and saw a doc. I was used as a guinea pig to trial a vaccination for Cervical cancer. I am so very fortunate that my body responded well to it, and I am back to normal now, at age 48yrs old.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I would love to have a conversation with you if possible...
Me too please respond :(
I had it done in Australia when I lived there. 🙏🏼
I will try and look for the vaccination name n post it for you guys.🙏🏼😍
Helen that was so so hard to watch. Knowing how similar our situations were and reliving that moment myself was really hard. 😥 So brave for sharing your story online, and showing the true reality of a cancer diagnosis. Xx
Thanks lovely I’m sorry it was hard to watch but thank you for watching 😘😘😘
Hi Helen, I’ve only come across you recently and watched much more recent videos before I saw this one. It’s humbling to watch your honesty and frankness at a time you must have been so scared. I have no doubt you will have helped others diagnosed in the way you were. You are an amazing lady x
Such a kind comment thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing. I survived endometrial cancer, finally diagnosed at age 32 after at least 2 years of symptoms including the clear fluid you mentioned. I searched online and none of the sites EVER mentioned cancer as a possibility. I actually telephoned my MD and the nurse thought I was urinating on myself🙄 You are beautiful and I appreciate your willingness to help others. I'm sure your story will save a life. May God bless you. ❤ from the 🇺🇸
wow, I'm glad you got diagnosed and survived it! what kind of clear fluid? i have very heavy periods, sometimes bad cramps
You have such a sweet nature about you and I'm completely devastated for you. Sending you love and light in your future and hoping its bright ❤️
Nell you lovely girl. It’s so important and valuable that you’ve done these videos. I’ve followed you for years and I’ve really rooted for you and felt like you’re one of my gals and it’s so nice now to see you in a much better place x
Thank you so much for watching xx It feels so good to know I have girls on insta who genuinely care ❤️❤️ x
I just got my pap a few days after watching this ❤️ I had been having spotting and I was convinced the news were gonna be bad, but thankfully everything came back normal 😍 just a hormonal imbalance
Hi. Have you had another pap after? Are you still okay. Am having post-coital bleeding and just booked for pap
I’m hoping for the same news 🙏🏾🙏🏾 I’m having light spotting on a and off. It’s last a day or two . How often do u spot ?
@@vivianneoyugi574 hello! I never had it again after that, mine was not post coital but, I started spotting the week after my period ended. I was under a lot of stress during that time and the doctor said maybe that was it. I have been regular ever since 🙏
@@Futurenursearianna mine started the week after my period ended and became a full blown period 🙈 it hasn’t happened again since
@@MamaChapinaEnUSA my spotting starts a week after but it’s scant amount (only when I wipe its pink) but I have my pap august 15 . Which is so long from now I’m bout to go to the free clinic at this point
Your amazing. Such a strong person. We need more people like you sharing your story. It gives those people who don’t feel it that hope they need xxx
its a miracle that you caught it only 1 year after a normal pap, good on you for paying attention to your symptoms, its soo hard with us ladies isn't it, we have so many weird things that happen
I was 28 when I was diagnosed and they say cancer can’t grow in a year. But yet you’ve proven it has as well as me. I have paps every year. 8 years later I am hpv positive again for the highest risk strain and have all kinds of symptoms 😢
Hi. Could you please give an update on how your doing right now?
@@vivianneoyugi574 it came back negative for everything. Thankfully
@@Gamer_Ayamewhat were your symptoms please 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing! The world needs more people like you 💕
Thank you so much XX 😘
I had a huge blood clot this past period and I’ve been feeling pains in my abdominal too, I went right away to my obgyn. I’m going in for a hysteroscopy next week as he found a lump in my uterus 😓 I’m super scared but am trying to handle my emotions! Wish me luck everyone ♥️ thank you so much for sharing your journey! You have no idea how comforting this is
Wishing you all the best 🙏🏽
@@scarlettwood7516 thank you ♥️
Hope you ok xx I wonder how you doing and if everything is ok . I have hysteroscopy next week too as they found lump on ultrasound. Can you tell me if is painful. I'm very scared. xx Wish you all the best xx
@@MonIca-cn6oq thank you for asking ♥️ I’m completely healed now! Turns out I have loads of small polys; the surgeon removed as many as he could and they all came back from the lab as benign. I had little to no pain, but I was bleeding for 2 weeks (and had some small string clots, sorry for being TMI) Dr said to wait for 2-3 periods to pass, assess the situation then if I still have pain and clots to insert an IUD. I have my fingers crossed for you! Please update me when you’re healed ♥️ we all need to support one another through these scary times
I'm very happy for you I'm glad you ok xx Thank you very much for replying to me xx I was worrying about Hysteroscopy because I read for some womens is very painful. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and my pain levels changed/ my body is very sensitive now. I just worried what they will say due my last smear test was not good . They did biopsy and send me back for next smear test 3 years as was ok .Till I start getting symptoms and was send for ultrasound. They found lump . I keep thinking and stressing even more now . Wishing you all the best xx I will let you know as soon I know anything xx
I'm having a pelvic exam and swabs tomorrow because of some symptoms. I called the GP yesterday thinking I had a UTI, told her my symptoms. She said it doesn't sound like an infection and started asking about history of cervical cancer in the family and said I needed to make a pelvic exam appointment within the week. Now I'm totally worked up. This video was really helpful thank you for sharing. One of my symptoms is a leaky bladder and I'm 38, that has been embarrassing. I've also had bleeding after sex and pelvic/back pain. This video is so valuable for women going through this or concerned about symptoms.
Hi, i know your comment was from 3 months ago but I was wondering if everything went well for you? Dealing with some of those symptoms and am awaiting smear test results myself. Hope all is well.
@@BellaJory1 I was fine, everything came back clear. It turns out I was really constipated which my doctor said can cause a leaky bladder. I think the bleeding after sex was from the sex itself. I do have spotting before periods but this is a hormonal imbalance, I'm trying Agnus Cactus to see if that helps balance things. Please get checked by a Dr and let me know how you get on x
@@yorkshirelass8786 Thank you so much for responding. Yes I got everything checked and am now waiting for the results. It’s good to hear everything was fine with you. I have all of those same symptoms you described.
@@BellaJory1 no problem, I know how awful it is while you're waiting I convinced myself I was going to have bad news. It was such a relief when I got the all clear. My GP did say a lot of the symptoms I had could have been explained with the constipation and they did disappear once that went away. I hope it's something like that for you and nothing too serious x
@@BellaJory1hi. How did your check up go. Am now in your shoes and just booked my pap. I have bleeding after sex that goes for 2 days n pelvic back pains
Here in 2025. I'm awaiting an ultrasound and also a colposcopy clinic appt. Doing my research and this is by far one of the more clear, informative videos. I'm glad things seem well for you now. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you Helen for telling your story. It really touches me. I have to get a Colposcopy next Wednesday. My boyfriend is going with me because I am scared. I hope you continue to tell your story.
How did you go?Im gonna have my colposcopy on the 6th of May
I had one when I was 18 years old. I had to DEMAND a test because my pap came back clear. As soon as they put some iodine solution on she saw all the precancerous cells on my cervix. Now I’m 25 and experiencing symptoms again... had a clear pap 2 months ago but afraid it has come back
Bless you for this video, Miss Helen. You're very brave for sharing your story. Many lives will be saved because of you. God bless you on this difficult journey. Hugs and best wishes to you from Missouri.
♥️ So brave of you to share your story; thank you. I hope you are doing wonderful & feeling much better! 🙏🏻
Thank you so much x
This happened to me last week, waiting on my MRI, just cried watching you relive this in your memory. I passed out when the doctor told me. Utter devastation.
Hi Sam. How are you and do you have your MRI results back? Hope you’re ok x
@@babblingbythebrook Hi, I do, I have stage 3b, it’s in my left ovary, pelvic wall and snaking it’s way round the tube to my kidney. Having a nephrostomy next week and meeting my oncologist on Friday. All very scary!
@@Samkeepgoing I’m rooting for you 😢 I just got an abnormal pap and have been having a variety of symptoms such as cysts on my ovaries and lots of pain and now they want to biopsy…
@@Aliyahmariamusic thanks 🙏 I’ve just finished chemo and radiation. Now waiting till January to find out whether I still have cancer or not. My biggest advice is to take it one day at a time. No point worrying about tomorrow when you’ve got today first. I really hope it goes well for you x

Oh my God i feel your pain😪In October this year (2022) i was diagnosed with cervical cancer 1B2. My symptoms were very different than yours, i only had spotting in between my periods and they became shorter . The obgyn found a polyp, he removed it and sent it to the lab. The result came back as cancer. I was devasteted, i am only 41 years old. In my case the doctor did a blood work, he send me to do a PET/CT scan to see if my cancer spread ( thank Good it did not😚) and now on November 30th i am going for histerectomy surgery. Ladies, watch out for any bleeding desides your period, any unusual discharge with an faul odor or bleeding after sex! Those are the dangerous signs. I wish everybody good health!
I’m spotting in between my period as well!!
@@Futurenurseariannahow are you doing now?
@@Inspiredxxmedia I just had my Pap smear and my test results were normal and negative Sti test . The spotting still comes n goes
@@Futurenursearianna ok please get a second opinion if it doesn’t get better after some time. Best wishes and thank you for replying
@@Futurenursearianna how are u doing now?
Thank you for being so honest and brave telling your story. Its ladies like yourself that will help so many other ladies ❤
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
So brave of you to talk about your experience . ❤
I appreciate the honesty. Not upsetting... i would rather know what to expect even thought its not exciting ... i have HPV and atypical cells detected and I have my colposcopy tomorrow AM. They said they will do a biopsy . I have. Not been sexually active for over a year- this is a myth with people with hpv that it is like a STD. Very different. Please do your research people! Wish me luck/prayers tomorrow, and i hope you are welll as of today i will follow you to make sure. You’re in my prayers!!!
Hpv is a STI. You can have it for years before the cervical cells change.
@@ashleydior5462 you can have it without having sex though.
Hello love hope all is well with u…
Praying for a full recovery for you lovely! ❤️❤️ God is in control
AMEN🙏
Oh Helen I watched this in tears,you probably won’t see this comment as the video is 3 years old, im going to watch the others now.I’m heartbroken you went through this xx
You are really brave! I am praying for your recovery! ❤
Thank you so much x
god bless you,, my partner got metaplastic triple negative breast cancer and i understand how hard it is, very emotional difficult,, how many appointment and exam, test,, but you are brave and young and beautiful, you strong and well victorious,, love from iran ❤
Fyi 80% of sexually active ppl have hpv, you can have 1 partner and get hpv, it is extremely common and nothing to be ashamed of.
Because of your video im now going to get myself checked out I had my smear test at 25 and it came back positive for hpv and then went on to have further testing which then said to come back in 3 years. And since then this January I have been having extreme pains in my left side and pain during sex and finally going to get myself check again Thank you for sharing your story❤. Xx
Hi lovely! Did you book an appointment? How did it go? X
Thanks 👏 for sharing your experience, as hard as it was it will surely benefit other women who are going through that too. Hope all goes well for you.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰🥰🥰🥰🌺🌺💐💐💐
May God bless you always Helen. I pray you are doing well and are living a healthy life filled with abundant happiness.
Thankyou for sharing your story. So brave I'm going through this at the moment and the way I feel is exactly like you was and now know it's ok to be scared thankyou so much again for your story gives me hope I'm also young and I'm scared too xxxx
Hi Leanne. Thank you so much for watching. It’s ok to be scared, where are you up to with everything, have you got a treatment plan? x
Hope your ok Leanne . Reach out to us all in the comments for support. Stay strong xx love from Melbourne Australia
Hi there, I’m 22 & have been getting a lot of symptoms - bleeding after sex, leaky yellow discharge constantly (no smell) bleeding from my cervix when I had swabs aswell as discharge at the same time, heavier and longer periods over the last 4 months & pain during sex too.
I have a colposcopy booked to investigate the reasons for all of my symptoms as when swabs come back there was no infection etc.
I’m actually quite anxious about it as I have 2 young children & have been suffering for about a year or so with these symptoms & never checked for anything till now cause I’m ‘not eligible for a smear test’ due to me not being old enough.
However Your story is really helpful & fingers crossed it’s a good outcome ❤️ I hope your doing good now after everything you’ve been though ❤️
this makes no sense as pap tests in US are done as soon as you are sexually active. I don't know where you are but its sounds like old medicine, Having had kids you are at risk especially if youmhave had multiple sex partners or one that is very active with different people.
Hi. How did your check up go. I also have two young children and been having these symptoms. Am crying myself to bed as am very anxious. Just booked for my pap test.
Hi can you tell us how you are doing currently ? I hope you’re OK 😢
Hi was it good? I m going through the same thing m 20yrs old 😞
Helen you are amazing!! Thank you so much hunny for sharing your story!! So strong and wonderful women and brave for telling your story. Shows how important it for us to get our smears done ❤️

I’m so glad it was helpful. Thank you so much for watching lovely. Hope you’re ok x
You are extremely brave to come forward and tell people your story. I can never do that if mine turns into cancer. I know all about the biopsies and colposcopies yrly.
I just sobbed watching this 😢😢. So brave for sharing your story 🥰 xxxx
I’m sorry it was upsetting 😘😘 thank you so much for watching x
Nell Louise Miller upsetting only because you’ve been through a heck of a lot 💕💕💕 xxx
Me too I cried as well sharing her pain.
I have had pre cancer cells and i was told even they left it, it would take years to turn into cancer. Then next smear i had 3 years later was clear! So i really don't know how smear showed you were clear a year before. Sorry that happened to you hope your ok now.
Oh Nell, what a brave video to make. You will help so many people. I have just had to have a hysteroscopey to check for the source of misdiagnosed irregular bleeds, thankfully after taking a biopsy of something they weren't too keen on the look of I just got the all clear. I was extra cautious as my sister has stage 4 secondary breast cancer so I know how important it is to get things checked when you're worried. Your bravery in sharing your experience will help anyone that watches, you're doing a wonderful thing xxx
Thanks for sharing your story I’ve just watched it through tears! Hope you’re doing well. I went for a colposcopy yesterday as my smear test picked up abnormal cells x
Hey we are all in this together I just found out today I have to get a leep procedure.... wondering how did your turns out.... I hope all is well I trust in God.... I pray you do as well
This video is so helpful to me! I have been to the doctor twice in the last three weeks because I was due for my smear and I have been having pain on one side of my ovaries. The past two smears I’ve had at these appts haven’t been able to take because my cervix has been bleeding too bad. I am going back again tomorrow to have another and I’m preparing myself for something like this. I’m only 27.

I just got detective with cervical cancer and I’ve never been so scared in my life
Hi Maria. I’m so sorry to hear this. How are you feeling? Have you been given any more info since you commented. It’s a scary time for you. Have you checked out the forums on Jo’s Trust website? It’s brilliant and helped me a lot x
hey girl, you are very inspiring ❤. I go for a colposcopy tomorrow. I just was wondering I read that HPV 18 was more associated with adenocarcinoma did you get diagnosed with hpv 18 16 or 45?

If you could explain what the liquid *smelled* similar to...what would you say? I think that is important too, to spread awareness. You're a brave woman!
I agree... I wish she elaborated slightly more on what the unpleasant scent smelled like. I understand that this is a very hard thing to just openly say to the wide web though.
I’m confused did it come out of the front or the back🤔. Because if it’s the back I’m running to the E.R. Thank you for sharing this. This year my gynecologist for my yearly check up I find out he didn’t give me a Pap test, now I have to get another gyn to give me a Pap test. My aunt past away from Cervical Cancer this makes me nervous.
Thank you for sharing x there isn't enough people that do and others out there need to know they are not alone when they are hit with the words. From a fellow rollercoaster rider (1b).
Thank you so much for watching lovely xx I’m glad you think so and I hope you’re recovering well 😘 x
You’re so brave. Definitely learnt a thing or two from this! ❤️❤️
Thank you 😘

I wish I had have recognised what they meant earlier. 😢

I need to see my doctor. I was told I had pre precancerous cells on my cervix about 6 years ago. Due to lack of good insurance coverage and lack of money, I couldn't get to a doctor again. I'm having some symptoms that resemble some common symptoms so I gotta get checked out.
Same here. Any updates?❤
@@naeshastaley2816 No. I can't afford to see the doctor. I hope you are able to get it figured out. I'm praying for you!

Hello lovely, first thing i noticed about your story is that i find it weird that in the first smear pap result, nobody told you if you had hpv and if you did, you had to come back 6 months later. Hpv is the cause of cervical cancer( in almost all cases) especially when you are young. So even if a woman is young and the pap smeat test is not showing abnormal cells, I strongly advice woman to keep asking for smear tests and also hpv tests every 6 months. If hpv is cleared up by the imuunsystem you can be safe, but if hpv is still there any woman should be very cautions and have regular checks. So thats weird, that you didnt know if you had hpv. Cause if someone tells a woman they have hpv, never wait but ask for more pap smear tests, its hpv that irritates and can change the cells of the cervix. The sharp pain you desribe is much more likely ovulationpain instead of cervical pain. Ovulationpain can occur every month and can be sharp and painfull for some hours or 24 hours, also can feel like dull persistent pain on one side of the ovaries, right or left, depening on wich side the egg is being released. Hope you are much better now and so glad you went to the docter by yourself! It saved your life!
Hi how can I find your next videos regarding treatment and follow up?
My personal story is I have been feeling it for months that something is wrong with me. So I went to my family doctor we did the smear test came back I have abnormal cells. I changed my diet. I quit smoking. I’m scared as well. I got depressed for a few weeks than I was like i have to do something about it.
Did you get a colposcopy??
@@taylorhackney5949 no she didn’t send me for one. I will have my next appointment in march
Hope your next appointment goes well Cynthia xx 😘
Any updates? Hope you’re well
I’ve been scared to see a gynaecologist and it’s hard cause they cost money but I’ve had some odd symptoms that shouldn’t happen so I am seeing the gyno on the 5th and I’m a little terrified but hopefully everything is okay
Thank you for sharing. I had a biopsy last week, she said with her naked eye it looked like severe dysplasia. Im just numb waiting. Im 36 and divorced, I feel very alone
Prayers to you you will get through this 🙏🏽❤❤
How are you
How are you doing now? Update
i'm 36 years old, i just had a biopsy last week
My boyfriend told me he lost his mom to cervical cancer he lost both his parents and lives alone. I lost my loved ones to cancer 💔 I miss them everyday.
i was very private as well, radiation was soooo embarrassing. they were at least kind enough to normally use women but not always.
Hi i have the same symptom awaiting for my result i have a question did you have big bloat with your tummy?
Hi homie everything is okay and you’ve been checked out. I didn’t notice any major bloating but bloating has kind of always been normal for me. I didn’t notice anything that was out of the ordinary for my body x
I've just had my smear results and I have HPV and high grade dyskaryosis, I'm absolutely terrified, I'm going for a colposcopy soon 😌
@Sahara I had a colposcopy and biopsy. It showed CIN2 and CIN3. Got another smear in 6 months time.
@Sahara yeah I had the LETTZ procedure done so it got rid of everything. Thankfully. Well see what the next smear will show. X
❤️❤️ thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you for sharing this ❤️
Thank you for watching lovely x
Your 1st smear test probably did not have the HPV test included. If you are under 30 it’s not included unless asked for.
I think the point was that my cells were reported normal on my first smear test and then I was diagnosed at stage 2B just over a year later. They checked the original sample from my smear test after my diagnosis and everything was done correctly on the test. Apparently if there had been any mistakes made, they would have had to disclose it.
@@babblingbythebrook pap smear test and HPV test are two different tests. A Pap smear can’t detect STIs. To test for infections like chlamydia or gonorrhea, your healthcare provider takes a swab from your cervix. Blood tests can also identify certain STIs.
HPV tests check for certain types of the virus that increase your cervical cancer risk. HPV is a common STI that affects approximately 79 million Americans. There are many different types of HPV. Not all cause cancer.
That same pap test/collection/smear they got from you that day is used for the HVP test too.
Always ask your OBGYN to be screened also for HVP during you pap test.
The above commenter was right that probably they didn’t include to screen you of HVP from that smear.
So brave, your amazing ❤️
could you answer a question for me? single mom of 4, no family, scared to death. told during pap smear that i have lesions on my cervix. and that my cervix is “friable”. however the pap i took that day came back normal. i was scheduled to get an ultrasound but it was 2 hrs away and i had no way with my car broke down and kids. do you know what lesions means and what friable means? are those terms you have heard? thank u for sharing your story 🙏
Hi can you give an update since your comment please ?
In your view, would a 48 hour out patient appointment and commencement of investigations and biopsy by 72 hours be the goal, given how aggressive cervical cancer can be? Acute appendicitis is admitted the same day, yet I was told that if the patient was at sea, they were placed on antibiotics until the ship docked. They were then admitted to the local hospital. Should aggressive cancers be prioritized to a greater extent than they are? I am sure our MPs are only too willing to help.
Very brave lady bless you xx
Thank you so much x
I went for my smear 12 months ago.. slight abnormalities, HPV positive.. no action taken, just to go back for a smear in 12 months.. here we are I’ve had my smear test and it’s came back as high grade, dyskaryosis (severe)
I have been having bleeding in between periods and now I’m very worried.. 😞
Are you OK now?
@@TraceyMariexx yes ok.. thank you X
Thank you for sharing
NelI hope your ok.xx❤️🌈
Your eyes are so beautiful!
You have the most beautiful eyes and features. X.
That’s so lovely thank you so much x
Prayer going out to you
I have the same diagnosis 😢
I am getting my first Pap smear this January. Hope everything turns out ok I know it will but I am nervous I will be the one anomaly it happens to.
So brave of you to talk about this ❤️ I came across your Instagram when I was searching for cervical cancer journeys a few years ago and couldn’t find many (especially uk) can I ask you when your had your leak in the car you said it was thin... what colour was it? Was it clear or white/ yellow/ etc 🙈 sorry to ask just curious after having similar symptoms but nothings ever come of it xxxx
Hi Emma thanks so much for watching. I couldn’t find many stories from people in the uk either. A lot of people have asked for more details about it. It was watery, mostly clear but brownish aswell xx definitely not yellow. Don’t apologise for asking honestly I’m happy to answer any questions. Have you. Been to see your doctor about your symptoms? X
Hi Emma Hartley, I hope you are doing well, and I hope you are healthy, I will pray for you, I had a terrible illness in my life so I know what it is like to live with one, but Jesus gave me a miracle and healed me, and He healed many others also, He can do the same for you, He loves you, call on Him, ask Him into your heart to be your personal Lord and Saviour, and He will change your life for the better and give you peace, God bless
Thank you ❤
