As much as i have enjoyed all of your videos, i think this one is the best that you have ever produced! Your " realness" & honesty about a part of our bodies that as you stated was taboo to talk about, is so needed for all of us to hear. Look at how many lives you have already touched! As a retired OB-GYN nurse, i have assisted in so many of these procedures,it is, unfortunately, more common than one would think. I applaud you for bring light to this very important issue. And kudos to your mom, for pushing you for this appointment!
I have to potentially get a LLETZ procedure after waiting and seeing for 6 months. But i'm terrified of all the reports and medical studies about the LLETZ causing sexual dysfunction aka no desire, no drive, pain, incapable of orgasm or satisfaction, losing of sensitivity inside/clit. What's your experience of this?
Sophie, you’re reaching 14,000 people, even if only half of them are women (which I’m sure there’s more) thats 7,000 women whose lives you could change by being an advocate for women’s health! Good on you 🎉 👏🏼 I’m sorry you’ve had to go through this. I started having smear tests at 16 because my aunt had cervical cancer. In my twenties I started having abnormal cells and had them at every test (every 6 months) till I was around 28. I can happily tell you I haven’t had an abnormal pap since then and I’m 37. I’ve also had a surgery to remove scar tissue from a ‘colposcopy gone wrong’ and I’ve successfully had a little girl since (I had three kiddos before that too). Hope everything goes well for you on the rest of this journey! And to those reading who are putting off testing, I will reiterate Sophie’s words - go get a test! My aunt didn’t and she died after an ugly 8 year battle with cancer. A 15 min test is worth preventing that!
🫶🏼 Thank you, Victoria, for your honest comment. Reading comments like this is slowly helping me change my mindset 'that my life is over' when it comes to having children. If anything, I have done the best, and god forbid it does change in the C word, I will find it early and will be in the best hands. I am also sorry to hear about your Aunt and her long 8-year battle. 🤍
I cried along with you Sophie. I applaud you for posting this up and being so brave. Please do keep us posted on what's going on. I am praying for you. xxxx
As a male who was caregiver to his mother who developed breast cancer at age 90, I salute you and pray Divine Thou’s most holy mercy on your condition…in the name of Jesus, and by the spirit of Elisha; 2 Kings 2:1-12, etc.
Your bravery and strength shines through your tears - never apologize for crying, it gets the sad out of you. You are an absolute delight and I commend you for your openness and honesty. Your Mom is your best advocate and we need allies all through our life. Family is paramount, I admire you for showing your devotion to them. You are a shining star and you will get through this hiccup. Please know there is so much love for you and we are all praying for you and placing you in a healing light.
Sophie I’m so glad you’ve decided to talk about it in more detail. I’ve been through this myself and it’s so scary. I also put off having my smear tests. First one was fine. Then a few years later on my 2nd smear I had the problem. It’s so important for us ladies to go for our tests. Thank you Sophie for sharing this xx
Thank you, Sophie, for encouraging other people to go for the C screening examinations. In Germany, both gynaecological and urological examinations for women and men are covered by health insurance. Skin screenings are also subsidised, as are internal (stomach) check-ups. You only have one life, so we recommend everyone to go for the C test. Everyone is allowed to show their feelings. We wish you all the best Sophie.
So happy to see you post your story as a mom who has just welcomed my daughter back from Dubai after leaving Emirates she has some health issues and is home to visit her gynaecologist today keep posting your story it is getting to the right people . I have watched you since her open day and your practical advice made it a lot easier ❤️stay safe
You’re a strong & brave woman Sophie. Thank you for bringing women’s health to the forefront. I too had a similar situation last Dec. I agree that the hardest part was scheduling the appt. & having to wait three long agonizing weeks for the procedure. I received positive results & am grateful. The importance of yearly checkups & follow-ups is so vital for your health. Much love & support sent your way from the U.S. 💕💕💕
Thank you for sharing your story Sophie. My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer in October. It was shocking because we have no family history of cancer and she is perfectly healthy and no symptoms. To all the women: please do your mammogram and pap smear every year. Don't neglect it. Unfortunately many diseases related to women such as cervical or breast cancer don't have any signs or symptoms until it gets to advanced stages which is why preventive screening is so important. I keep you in my prayers sophie and please keep my sister in your prayers as well
Thank you for sharing your sister's story and reminding women to get a mammogram. This is very true. A simple test can help prevent something much worse later down the line 🤍
I'm shocked , I thought everthing is okay , because you didn't tell about your last appointment . But it's good to tell about now and building a platform for other women about such a topic . An incredible big hug from me Sophie ! I' m always there for you ! Everyting will be fine !!!!
This video is so important - and a true gift to all women! We all need to begin getting mammograms and paps at the recommended ages, and then keep following through with them every year. Thank you for sharing your full story. I'm cheering for you and sending positive vibes your way. Hugs from a 68 year old mom in Florida who, at age 50, opted to have my uterus, cervix and ovaries all removed when I had some "borderline" cells in my uterus.
Sophie I understand. I had my gallbladder removed last year on the week of my birthday. Your mom is a great person who cares so much about you. Your strong Sophie. I get yearly pap-smears because my health is always needing to improve. Hugs. 🌸💞
My goodness Sophie that was really emotional. You are such a brave young lady for sharing all this with your followers. You have been going through all of this yet still continuing to upload all your videos to which no one would have a clue as to what you were sadly going through, honestly you’re so brave. Watching you going through this and all your emotions just put a lump in my throat. You have such a loving and supportive family Sophie and your Mum is your rock. You will get through this and you will have the support you need. I think you really emphasised how important smear tests , Pap tests are. You’re a remarkable and an amazing young lady. Sending you lots of positive thoughts Sophie and stay strong. Thank you for sharing this . ❤❤❤
You are so brave and strong it’s ok to cry don’t let anyone tell you it’s not okay to cry i always get Pap smear tests when i get notification about it from my doctor thank you for this information and for being an advocate for women who need to hear this i just want to give you a big hug
Well done, Sophie…for so many reasons. Giving my age away but I experienced the same decades ago. I already had one child and conceiving my second was a bit more difficult. Many women have unshared experiences and I applaud your honesty among us…your peers, your more ‘mature’ viewers (like me), your loyal friends. Thumbs up for Sophie, everyone!
I'm praying for you, Sweetheart. Thank you for helping to draw back the curtain from something too long hidden and kept quiet. Its high time we look after ourselves. Remember, my dear, courage is fear that has said its prayers. Being brave or courageous is not the absence of fear. It's being afraid and proceeding anyway. All will be well. Prayers. Hugs. Blessings. Peace.
Oh Wow Sophie, thank you so much for doing this video (and being so brave about it) I took smear tests as a practice nurse for 20 years in the NHS (Lancashire UK) The hardest demographic to reach is the younger women- this is known by the NHS screening service. I think you would make a great ambassador for cervical screening. It makes a huge difference which we see on the ground (Eg when poor Jade Goody was diagnosed with cervical cancer we were inundated with ladies- fantastic!) I am so glad to hear you're getting great care and treatment. Try to stay positive (as much as you can !)
Thank you for all your women with the NHS. This is one of the reasons I wanted to share. Most of my audience is younger women, so even if I convinced 1 person to go, I would feel I did my job ☺️
Sophie , you are unbelievably brave and strong for sharing your story 🙏 praying for you as on this journey and it's normal to be emotional you going through alot . Thank you for sharing just know you are not alone 🙏
sophie I found your channel out of nowhere and been watching your channel for a while. You're a happy wonderful woman. Praying for you and wishing you the best of luck like my mother says que duos te bendiga mucho.🙏🏻🙏🏻❤
Thank you for sharing such a raw and honest account of your procedures. Sending love and healing and hope you’re feeling ok now. Love your positivity and openness. ❤xx
I'm so proud of you for making this video, Sophie. You have worked so hard on your lifestyle change, I'm sure none of that has been in vain. I will follow your journey all the way, through the highs and lows, and you have my best wishes always 😊
Sophie I am sending a huge hug 🤍 I praise and thank you tremendously for talking about this. I agree 10000% with you that we just don’t talk enough about women’s health. I hope we all learn to no longer think of women’s health as a taboo or something to be embarrassed to talk about. Thank you for talking about it and informing us. Much love to you 🤍
OMG I was in tears with you throughout that video Sophie! Hats off to you girl for having the balls to sit down and speak so openly and honestly about such a personal experience. I''m 34 now but I had my last smear when I was 28 I think it was. The Dr's lost my sample and were asking me to make a new appointment to have it re-done but I never did. They've stopped contacting me about it and I'd forgotten all about it until today. I'll be calling the Dr's tomorrow morning to see if we can work something around my flying schedule. Sending love and best wishes your way xxx
Sweet Sophie, hugs to you. Thank you for talking about your experience. It’s scary and deeply personal when your put yourself out there. Anytime someone tells you your fertility, let alone your life could be affected, it’s terrifying! I commented when you had your last procedure. We are all afraid of pain, embarrassment, uncomfortable situations, but it’s so important that we stay on top of the simple health stuff, so it doesn’t turn in to major invasive procedures. I found out I had cervical cancer after waking up from a hysterectomy at 44 for severe uterine fibroids. I had gone for my Pap tests and somehow it did not show on tests. My doctor said if i hadn’t had the hysterectomy, I probably would have not known until it was too late for any treatment. I’m 48 now and have had to continue having pap type tests for 5 years to clear me. I don’t have a cervix but it can spread to your vagina, so that has to be checked. I was lucky! You sharing your experience will definitely save a life. The more women’s health issues are talked about in real life conversations, the more we are willing to listen. It sounds like you have amazing support and care and you’re looking after your health. It sounds like a kick in the teeth when you do everything right and it reoccurs, but when your body is healthy you’re ready to face these things, and your body can heal so much faster. Long speech, sorry! Big hugs girl!
Wow, I’m speechless at the courage I have seen in your explanation and detail of your events and your health. A huge congrats in going through what you have been through. Also congrats in getting everyone aware of what is done and what can happen. We all should have the tests and the men have their tests as well when and as needed. Congrats on coming back stable the second time round and hope everything works out for you ❤❤❤❤
i can feel you so much! its okay to cry and have those emotions. i just had 6 month later check up for my LEEP procedure and waiting for hpv test results. my doctor didnt allow me to do pap smear again, cuz she told me that it will come something bad and not precise. so i did straightly colposcopy and cervix looks healthy after leep. finger crosses for future
Thank you for sharing! The part about not letting everything sink in and not fully realizing the magnitude of what's happening is very relatable. I think it's normal and a way to protect yourself so you can go through the process and just get everything done. I had 3 surgeries in 2020 and managed to stay tough right up until the last one. It's hard to go through this stuff, but great that you are talking about it because getting tests is so important!!!
Hey Sophie, first of all I am beyond proud of sharing this with us! Offcourse you deserve sympathy that is human. I am glad that everything is going better until now, and I hope that stays! I wish you the best health that is the most imported indeed. You know you have us on your side and we love you! Thanks again for sharing and being so real. Love Jean
I applaud you for doing this vlog Sophie. Ever since I found you, I have loved your honesty. ❤ Please, please ladies, get your Pap smear tests done yearly. From age 20 it is so very important. I did my annual test from age 18 due to gynae issues and was horrified when I found out my Mom had never had one done! She finally had one when she was in her 50’s and was called back as there was some concern. By the grace of God, it turned out to be something not serious but from there she went annually.
Sophie the golden heart.. the fear & crying is normal. So nothing to be ashamed. Thank you for sharing this video and encouraging all to do this simple test. Good results and beautiful ending… life is a beautiful. blessing, so enjoy & live to the fullest.. sending my love and prayers to you Ms beautiful Heart..
Oh Sophie I really wish I could come and give you a big hug. ❤ Our family have also had a scare not long ago. Our 41 year old daughter had a lump in her breast, thank god she checks herself. Anyway 3 biology later, she has been told she is fine.😊 Keeping all my fingers crossed for you Sophie. Love from Linda, Lancashire ❤
Wow Sophie I just watched this video probably the best and most confronting video that you have done well done girl for speaking up about this you may have saved other women from going through this my heart goes out to you so glad you have good doctors your mother with her persistence saved your life.❤❤
Well done Sophie ❤ took so much courage to speak up about this subject. Just recently had my test at the age of 48. Everyone go for your smear test. It’s so important like Sophie says for your health and well-being. The part I can relate to Sophie is I injured my back whilst shopping in 2010 as a result of that, I had to have a subtotal hysterectomy which due to the damage in my spine man I was unable to carry any further pregnancies so as you can imagine being told you may never have any further kids I get that part of how you’re feeling I found it soul destroying only being able to have one child. Which I’m truly thankful for. Sending love and prayers for you always, and hope that nothing more will come of this one day you will have your own children. Be so proud of how far you’ve come, and the fact that you may have helped save countless young girls from HPV is a job. Well done in my eyes. Keep being true to you ❤❤❤😊
I know it must be hard sharing your life on the internet like this, and I know I’m a stranger but with watching your videos, I somehow feel as if I know you. Sending love and light your way and thanks for sharing.
As I said on your Instagram am sorry it’s come back but am so glad you’re using your platform and following to promote important topics considering most your audience is women it’s definitely something good specially if it has a positive impact on one woman or girl you done your job by watching all your video you could tell wasn’t at all looking for sympathy specially by your emotion fingers crossed this is the time it’s going to go permanently for you upwards and onwards sending you love and positive energy ❤
I was supposed to get a breast exam 3 years ago. I still don't have an appointment. And I haven't had a pap smear in years. So I should probably make an appointment.
Hi Sophie, I'm so sorry you are going through this but how brave you are to share it with all of us. Your Mum and family will be supporting you all the way. You can tell you are a close and loving family. Of course you are going to cry who on earth wouldn't, it must have been so difficult for you to receive the result of your test on your own. The main thing is the Doctor is keeping a close watch on you and is happy to leave things as they are for now so everything crossed for you. Big Hugs. xxx❤
I’m currently in your position.. I’m awaiting my surgery appointment. Crying and breaking down whenever I think about it. Thanks for showing me I will come out the other side. X
I have my loop excision on Monday, I’m in the UK & I am very scared. I looked into AHCC, I’m not a medical professional but it has so many amazing reviews clearing HPV ❤ much love
Sophie, My sister in law had this surgery and almost bled to death so glad you had your sweet sister. She was a DES baby and she and sister both had cervical cancer. I had it also. HPV vaccines are so important. You are the sweetest and love you for doing this video. Take care of yourself. XX
I've read the comments and know that all of us love and support you! I can feel it in the words shared. This video should be read by every girl of all ages to take to heart. You are a beautiful, kind, and generous person. Thank you for being you, ❤
Thank you for sharing. I need to research and hear people’s stories to help me cope with things. I was told in April that I have CIN3 cells. I had a colposcopy the other day and being able to watch your video and others before, helped me to know what was coming. It wasn’t pleasant but I did it. As soon as she started to look she said things have progressed a bit which I don’t know what she meant and hope she didn’t mean more than cin3. She took biopsies and said she will be in contact but that I will definitely need treatment and I will be AWAKE 🙈 I’ve never been under GA so as long as I’m not in a lot of pain I’m ok with being awake. She told me she will be ‘making a loop’ to remove the top part so I assume that like the LETTZ. It’s all a bit scary at the minute as I’m a single mum of 3 and only 37 so I just hope it’s nothing serious
Omg, I have been crying with you Sophie... I have had 1 test so far in my life several years ago, but I will speak to my GP to arrange another one. THANK YOU! It is so easy to neglect our health when living in the world where everything is happening so fast. You are so strong, went through exams knowing what the doctor said, spent the Christmas on your own in Dubai and then decided to not get depressed and quit on the idea of spending your birthday with your loved ones and simply enjoying your life! I hope you realize it.
Thank you for booking a test. I hope all went well 🤍 The company I work for does not disclose how someone has passed. However, I have done my own research about radiation and talked to my doctor about it. It is something im thinking deeply about ☺️
Omg Sophie, I've watched your videos so long and to see you upset is horrible! You've been extremely brave opening up about your experience, and you're an amazing woman.
Watched your vlog last night.. with a tear or two along with you 😔 Been a subscriber for some time. I live in Scotland and fly to Asia via emirates yearly. I’d just wanted you to know your vlogs have been really inspirational for me. You’ve given me the strength to get up and change my life. I’ve lost 34lb with another 14lb to my goal weight. I’m setting up my own business just now and planning to relocate part of the year to Asia. Thanks for being a fantastic person full of positivity. Your parents and family should be very proud. Wishing you all the best and I’m sure you will kick your health issues into the long grass soon. Sending you hugs 🫶🏻
I had this when I was about 18. I literally thought I was going to die it hurt so bad!! I was awake when they cut that huge chunk out of me and my bf was with me at the time. I thought he was gonna pass out. But I have 2 kids 16 an 13. I had this procedure about a year or 2 before I got pregnant. I've heard it can affect you having kids but obviously I had 2 pretty much right after
You seem to be a good person and I’m gonna pray for you 🙏🙏so you won’t have to go through surgery again God is going to heal you just Believe in him and trust the process , I’m going through the same situation… hugs
Sophie, you are in great hands. You will be fine. I am so sorry you are going through this. Just be strong and know this terrible time you are going through will pass. I always really enjoy your chanel. Take care.
Thanks for opening up about your health and this issue Sophie, if each person could like this vidio to boost youtube algorithms to get vidio out there. STAY STRONG! xx
Hi Sophie thank you for sharing this experience, I had a biopsy last year, I still have CIN3, I’ve got to have the colonoscopy my appointment should come through in 4 week’s time, I’m going through the menopause & this has caused this a possibility but my grandma & mum has gone through this also, so maybe hereditary, I hope you are clear now & wishing you all the very best in life ❤
Thank you for posting this. You're right that there is not enough information out there. I wish the best for you and everyone else going through this too! ❤
Sophie, you are an amazing soul and even by just watching your vidoes you can see that. Thank you for sharing the ugly with us as well, surely will make an impact on other girls facing similar issues. Sending so much love your way ❤
It breaks my heart to see you like this but I am sure you will be ok. Bless your Mum for getting you that smear test and thanks for the bravery. It must be so difficult to talk about this but awareness is important. Take care
Hi Sophie, hope you're better. I have watched all of your videos and this one is essential to every woman bcause it s kind of warning to women when it comes to health especially uterus. You're brave for sharing your story and so kind to warn ladies about cervix test must be taken. Keep it up.
I admire you 🥹 I’m going through this too, just mine was CIN 1… but I got the LEEP too… maybe one more little… Now I kind of regret it, if it was little… It was very hard mentally for me, and when I listen to stories, I feel like I’m not alone… because I need to go back in 3 months. We need to take care, try to be more positive, eat healthy, exercise, take vitamins. My doctor gave me 10 days of a month Isoprinosine to repeat 3 months.. (I don't feel very okay with that treatment, but si need to take it..) I heard about AHCC mushrooms and also Turkey tail. I hope we can get through this as soon as possible! Greetings from Europe! ---
@@zenbuddha5947better.. I had a .. kind of cauterisation more than a leep… but I regret it now. Better if you try treating. Or maybe was not such a mistake for me.. because I had some strange little blood before and now is all okay. Now I have my treatment too. I hope we all will be okay!
@@zenbuddha5947yes, but I regret it now… other doctors told me for lisl was not necessary. But now I did again my tests and the virus is not present anymore, I hope will continue the same. 😊 This scared me like nothing in my life, but now I’m more relaxed and positive
Struggling right now. Got results back with CIN2-3 I need a Leep and currently going through IVF I’m terrified. Thank you for sharing your story. I cried along with you.
Sophie, my love! Thank you so much for sharing your experience, it will help more people than you realise. Please don’t feel like you have to apologies for being real, we appreciate it! Sending all of my love and hoping everything is okay from here on out. You’re incredible ❤️
I had an abnormal pap. I had to wait 8 weeks for the colposcopy appointment. At the 7th week mark my doctors office called to cancel and reschedule me for another 8 weeks. I told them no way that’s too far away and sure enough they were able to book me for 2 weeks. So then I got the colposcopy and a week later I was called by a nurse. She said my results are in and the doctor wants to schedule a call with me. The soonest date they had was 2 weeks out. So I’m still waiting to hear what the results are and I’ve been a nervous wreck ever since.
As much as i have enjoyed all of your videos, i think this one is the best that you have ever produced! Your " realness" & honesty about a part of our bodies that as you stated was taboo to talk about, is so needed for all of us to hear. Look at how many lives you have already touched!

🤍 thank you for all your work with women you helped over your years as an OB-GYN
I have to potentially get a LLETZ procedure after waiting and seeing for 6 months. But i'm terrified of all the reports and medical studies about the LLETZ causing sexual dysfunction aka no desire, no drive, pain, incapable of orgasm or satisfaction, losing of sensitivity inside/clit. What's your experience of this?

I felt so sad to see you cry😢. I also hate going to examinations. You were extremely brave to talk about this.
Sophie I’m so glad you’ve decided to talk about it in more detail. I’ve been through this myself and it’s so scary. I also put off having my smear tests. First one was fine. Then a few years later on my 2nd smear I had the problem. It’s so important for us ladies to go for our tests. Thank you Sophie for sharing this xx

So important!
I was so lucky to get cured permanently from HICH RISK HPV by *MR OBALAR* on RUclips..
Found your video today after having a colposcopy yesterday. It’s a really informative video.
In appreciation 🙏🏻

There is correlation with HPV and gallbladder removed?
I’m going for a colposcopy and biopsy in January. My last pap was about 4 years ago . I just turned 39, have 2 kids .

You are so brave and strong it’s ok to cry don’t let anyone tell you it’s not okay to cry i always get Pap smear tests when i get notification about it from my doctor thank you for this information and for being an advocate for women who need to hear this i just want to give you a big hug
Well done, Sophie…for so many reasons. Giving my age away but I experienced the same decades ago. I already had one child and conceiving my second was a bit more difficult. Many women have unshared experiences and I applaud your honesty among us…your peers, your more ‘mature’ viewers (like me), your loyal friends. Thumbs up for Sophie, everyone!
I'm praying for you, Sweetheart. Thank you for helping to draw back the curtain from something too long hidden and kept quiet. Its high time we look after ourselves. Remember, my dear, courage is fear that has said its prayers. Being brave or courageous is not the absence of fear. It's being afraid and proceeding anyway. All will be well. Prayers. Hugs. Blessings. Peace.
Oh Wow Sophie, thank you so much for doing this video (and being so brave about it) I took smear tests as a practice nurse for 20 years in the NHS (Lancashire UK) The hardest demographic to reach is the younger women- this is known by the NHS screening service. I think you would make a great ambassador for cervical screening. It makes a huge difference which we see on the ground (Eg when poor Jade Goody was diagnosed with cervical cancer we were inundated with ladies- fantastic!) I am so glad to hear you're getting great care and treatment. Try to stay positive (as much as you can !)
Thank you for all your women with the NHS. This is one of the reasons I wanted to share. Most of my audience is younger women, so even if I convinced 1 person to go, I would feel I did my job ☺️
Sophie , you are unbelievably brave and strong for sharing your story 🙏 praying for you as on this journey and it's normal to be emotional you going through alot .
Thank you for sharing just know you are not alone 🙏
sophie I found your channel out of nowhere and been watching your channel for a while. You're a happy wonderful woman. Praying for you and wishing you the best of luck like my mother says que duos te bendiga mucho.🙏🏻🙏🏻❤
Thank you for sharing such a raw and honest account of your procedures. Sending love and healing and hope you’re feeling ok now. Love your positivity and openness. ❤xx
Thank you Sophie for telling your story. I’m going through the same. Thanks for putting the word out.
Hope you’re doing well ❤️
I'm so proud of you for making this video, Sophie. You have worked so hard on your lifestyle change, I'm sure none of that has been in vain. I will follow your journey all the way, through the highs and lows, and you have my best wishes always 😊
Sophie I am sending a huge hug 🤍 I praise and thank you tremendously for talking about this. I agree 10000% with you that we just don’t talk enough about women’s health. I hope we all learn to no longer think of women’s health as a taboo or something to be embarrassed to talk about. Thank you for talking about it and informing us. Much love to you 🤍
OMG I was in tears with you throughout that video Sophie! Hats off to you girl for having the balls to sit down and speak so openly and honestly about such a personal experience.
I''m 34 now but I had my last smear when I was 28 I think it was. The Dr's lost my sample and were asking me to make a new appointment to have it re-done but I never did. They've stopped contacting me about it and I'd forgotten all about it until today.
I'll be calling the Dr's tomorrow morning to see if we can work something around my flying schedule.
Sending love and best wishes your way xxx
I hope you went for your test and all is well 🤍
Oh bless you Sophie. You are so brave sharing your story xx
Thank you for sharing ❤ I’m sorry you have to go through this. Thank you for spreading the information we as women should be aware . Bless you ❤
You are being very brave. Yes it was hard to watch, but very powerful and so necessary. Keep talking. Love from Scotland.
Thank you Sophie for posting this I’m a man but it’s important that we learn these things! You will be ok just know
Thank you for sharing Sophie. As a Canadian woman a PAP test is done regularly with my family doctor. Stay healthy and stay positive 💕
Thank you so much for talking about your surgery. It must have been so hard for you especially being so far from home. Be brave. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼💕💕💕
Stay strong. I know it was hard to share but you have to get it out. Pray 🙏🏾
Sweet Sophie, hugs to you. Thank you for talking about your experience. It’s scary and deeply personal when your put yourself out there. Anytime someone tells you your fertility, let alone your life could be affected, it’s terrifying! I commented when you had your last procedure. We are all afraid of pain, embarrassment, uncomfortable situations, but it’s so important that we stay on top of the simple health stuff, so it doesn’t turn in to major invasive procedures. I found out I had cervical cancer after waking up from a hysterectomy at 44 for severe uterine fibroids. I had gone for my Pap tests and somehow it did not show on tests. My doctor said if i hadn’t had the hysterectomy, I probably would have not known until it was too late for any treatment. I’m 48 now and have had to continue having pap type tests for 5 years to clear me. I don’t have a cervix but it can spread to your vagina, so that has to be checked. I was lucky! You sharing your experience will definitely save a life. The more women’s health issues are talked about in real life conversations, the more we are willing to listen. It sounds like you have amazing support and care and you’re looking after your health. It sounds like a kick in the teeth when you do everything right and it reoccurs, but when your body is healthy you’re ready to face these things, and your body can heal so much faster. Long speech, sorry! Big hugs girl!
I'm so sorry about what happened to you, but also glad they found It before it was too late 🤍 thank you for sharing your story
Wow, I’m speechless at the courage I have seen in your explanation and detail of your events and your health. A huge congrats in going through what you have been through. Also congrats in getting everyone aware of what is done and what can happen. We all should have the tests and the men have their tests as well when and as needed. Congrats on coming back stable the second time round and hope everything works out for you ❤❤❤❤
i can feel you so much! its okay to cry and have those emotions. i just had 6 month later check up for my LEEP procedure and waiting for hpv test results. my doctor didnt allow me to do pap smear again, cuz she told me that it will come something bad and not precise. so i did straightly colposcopy and cervix looks healthy after leep. finger crosses for future
Aww this is so good to hear you are all good now after your leep procedure 🤍 now you stay on top of your yearly checkups
Heyy Sophie, don't worry you'll be fine. God is always with us. God bless your beautiful soul. Much love! ❤️🙏
Thank you for sharing! The part about not letting everything sink in and not fully realizing the magnitude of what's happening is very relatable. I think it's normal and a way to protect yourself so you can go through the process and just get everything done. I had 3 surgeries in 2020 and managed to stay tough right up until the last one. It's hard to go through this stuff, but great that you are talking about it because getting tests is so important!!!
I hope all is well now with you 🤍 thank you
Hey Sophie, first of all I am beyond proud of sharing this with us! Offcourse you deserve sympathy that is human. I am glad that everything is going better until now, and I hope that stays! I wish you the best health that is the most imported indeed. You know you have us on your side and we love you! Thanks again for sharing and being so real. Love Jean
I applaud you for doing this vlog Sophie. Ever since I found you, I have loved your honesty. ❤
Please, please ladies, get your Pap smear tests done yearly. From age 20 it is so very important. I did my annual test from age 18 due to gynae issues and was horrified when I found out my Mom had never had one done! She finally had one when she was in her 50’s and was called back as there was some concern. By the grace of God, it turned out to be something not serious but from there she went annually.
I'm so glad your mum was okay in the end. Being told something isn't normal makes your mind go a million miles an hour.
Sophie the golden heart.. the fear & crying is normal. So nothing to be ashamed. Thank you for sharing this video and encouraging all to do this simple test. Good results and beautiful ending… life is a beautiful. blessing, so enjoy & live to the fullest.. sending my love and prayers to you Ms beautiful Heart..
Thank you for sharing your journey and appreciate your courage to speak on something that is not the easiest to talk about 💜
Oh Sophie I really wish I could come and give you a big hug. ❤ Our family have also had a scare not long ago. Our 41 year old daughter had a lump in her breast, thank god she checks herself. Anyway 3 biology later, she has been told she is fine.😊 Keeping all my fingers crossed for you Sophie. Love from Linda, Lancashire ❤
I meant biopsy.
aww im so glad she has been cleared now 🤍 thank you for sharing your story ☺️
Wow Sophie I just watched this video probably the best and most confronting video that you have done well done girl for speaking up about this you may have saved other women from going through this my heart goes out to you so glad you have good doctors your mother with her persistence saved your life.❤❤
Sending you love, light and healing, Sophie 🙏🏽
Thk you Sophie, you ARE HELPING SO MANY❤
Well done Sophie ❤ took so much courage to speak up about this subject. Just recently had my test at the age of 48. Everyone go for your smear test. It’s so important like Sophie says for your health and well-being. The part I can relate to Sophie is I injured my back whilst shopping in 2010 as a result of that, I had to have a subtotal hysterectomy which due to the damage in my spine man I was unable to carry any further pregnancies so as you can imagine being told you may never have any further kids I get that part of how you’re feeling I found it soul destroying only being able to have one child. Which I’m truly thankful for.
Sending love and prayers for you always, and hope that nothing more will come of this one day you will have your own children. Be so proud of how far you’ve come, and the fact that you may have helped save countless young girls from HPV is a job. Well done in my eyes.
Keep being true to you ❤❤❤😊
I hope you are well now 🤍 thank you for sharing your story
I know it must be hard sharing your life on the internet like this, and I know I’m a stranger but with watching your videos, I somehow feel as if I know you. Sending love and light your way and thanks for sharing.
🫶🏼
As I said on your Instagram am sorry it’s come back but am so glad you’re using your platform and following to promote important topics considering most your audience is women it’s definitely something good specially if it has a positive impact on one woman or girl you done your job by watching all your video you could tell wasn’t at all looking for sympathy specially by your emotion fingers crossed this is the time it’s going to go permanently for you upwards and onwards sending you love and positive energy ❤
I was supposed to get a breast exam 3 years ago. I still don't have an appointment. And I haven't had a pap smear in years. So I should probably make an appointment.
please go make your appointments
God bless. Have a speedy recovery. Thanks for sharing. Fly and stay healthy. Cheers.
Hi Sophie, I'm so sorry you are going through this but how brave you are to share it with all of us. Your Mum and family will be supporting you all the way. You can tell you are a close and loving family. Of course you are going to cry who on earth wouldn't, it must have been so difficult for you to receive the result of your test on your own. The main thing is the Doctor is keeping a close watch on you and is happy to leave things as they are for now so everything crossed for you. Big Hugs. xxx❤
Thank you for talking about this, women's health is so important! Sending you lots of love and prayers ; its in gods hands
Hi Sophie,
I really adore your honesty and Your bravery to share your story!
So 🫶 feel hooked and all my best wishes.
Best regards, Ralf
I’m currently in your position.. I’m awaiting my surgery appointment. Crying and breaking down whenever I think about it. Thanks for showing me I will come out the other side. X
I have my loop excision on Monday, I’m in the UK & I am very scared. I looked into AHCC, I’m not a medical professional but it has so many amazing reviews clearing HPV ❤ much love
Sophie, My sister in law had this surgery and almost bled to death so glad you had your sweet sister. She was a DES baby and she and sister both had cervical cancer. I had it also. HPV vaccines are so important. You are the sweetest and love you for doing this video. Take care of yourself. XX
thank you for sharing your story🤍
I've read the comments and know that all of us love and support you! I can feel it in the words shared. This video should be read by every girl of all ages to take to heart. You are a beautiful, kind, and generous person. Thank you for being you, ❤
thank you 🤍
Thank you for sharing. I need to research and hear people’s stories to help me cope with things. I was told in April that I have CIN3 cells. I had a colposcopy the other day and being able to watch your video and others before, helped me to know what was coming. It wasn’t pleasant but I did it. As soon as she started to look she said things have progressed a bit which I don’t know what she meant and hope she didn’t mean more than cin3. She took biopsies and said she will be in contact but that I will definitely need treatment and I will be AWAKE 🙈 I’ve never been under GA so as long as I’m not in a lot of pain I’m ok with being awake. She told me she will be ‘making a loop’ to remove the top part so I assume that like the LETTZ. It’s all a bit scary at the minute as I’m a single mum of 3 and only 37 so I just hope it’s nothing serious
You have inspired me because this is not easy at all. ❤
Omg, I have been crying with you Sophie... I have had 1 test so far in my life several years ago, but I will speak to my GP to arrange another one. THANK YOU! It is so easy to neglect our health when living in the world where everything is happening so fast.
You are so strong, went through exams knowing what the doctor said, spent the Christmas on your own in Dubai and then decided to not get depressed and quit on the idea of spending your birthday with your loved ones and simply enjoying your life! I hope you realize it.
Thank you for booking a test. I hope all went well 🤍
The company I work for does not disclose how someone has passed. However, I have done my own research about radiation and talked to my doctor about it. It is something im thinking deeply about ☺️
Omg Sophie, I've watched your videos so long and to see you upset is horrible! You've been extremely brave opening up about your experience, and you're an amazing woman.
Watched your vlog last night.. with a tear or two along with you 😔 Been a subscriber for some time. I live in Scotland and fly to Asia via emirates yearly. I’d just wanted you to know your vlogs have been really inspirational for me. You’ve given me the strength to get up and change my life. I’ve lost 34lb with another 14lb to my goal weight. I’m setting up my own business just now and planning to relocate part of the year to Asia. Thanks for being a fantastic person full of positivity. Your parents and family should be very proud. Wishing you all the best and I’m sure you will kick your health issues into the long grass soon. Sending you hugs 🫶🏻
Aww im so glad you took the jump to change so much in your life☺️ I wish you all the luck in the world
I had this when I was about 18. I literally thought I was going to die it hurt so bad!! I was awake when they cut that huge chunk out of me and my bf was with me at the time. I thought he was gonna pass out. But I have 2 kids 16 an 13. I had this procedure about a year or 2 before I got pregnant. I've heard it can affect you having kids but obviously I had 2 pretty much right after
Aww I so glad you had 2 children 🤍 reading this, in a way makes me keep thinking positive for the outcome 🤍
You seem to be a good person and I’m gonna pray for you 🙏🙏so you won’t have to go through surgery again God is going to heal you just Believe in him and trust the process , I’m going through the same situation… hugs
Thank you for posting about this issue! We don't talk enough about women's health.
Fingers crossed you won't need another surgery
🫶🏼
You’re such an inspiration for your courage and bravery! God bless you and your family!! Stay healthy!

Sophie, I am sooooo sorry to hear you are going through this!!! Thinking of you and sending you a massive hug💚💚☘️☘️
Hi Sophie thank you for sharing this experience, I had a biopsy last year, I still have CIN3, I’ve got to have the colonoscopy my appointment should come through in 4 week’s time, I’m going through the menopause & this has caused this a possibility but my grandma & mum has gone through this also, so maybe hereditary, I hope you are clear now & wishing you all the very best in life ❤
Thank you for sharing your experience so openly, and wish you the best of luck,
Thank you for posting this. You're right that there is not enough information out there. I wish the best for you and everyone else going through this too! ❤
thank you 🫶🏼
Thank you so much for this video!

Sending you lots of love and prayers always Sophie! 🙏🏼❤️
So sorry you’ve had to go through this beautiful girl. Thanks for sharing and wish you all the best x
Good girl to keep going through your story. It will help others❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree get tested and stay positive. 🌸💞
I have to get a LEEP next week and I'm so anxious about it.
It breaks my heart to see you like this but I am sure you will be ok. Bless your Mum for getting you that smear test and thanks for the bravery. It must be so difficult to talk about this but awareness is important. Take care
Hi Sophie, hope you're better.
I have watched all of your videos and this one is essential to every woman bcause it s kind of warning to women when it comes to health especially uterus. You're brave for sharing your story and so kind to warn ladies about cervix test must be taken.
Keep it up.
Bless your beautiful heart ..May God heal you completely, hugs from South Africa ❤❤❤💐
Sophie we are all here for you and we will keep you in our prayers 🙏🙏 you will be okay and it's okay to cry
Thanks for sharing what you went through
God bless you and pray you are healed
Stay brave
I admire you 🥹 I’m going through this too, just mine was CIN 1… but I got the LEEP too… maybe one more little… Now I kind of regret it, if it was little… It was very hard mentally for me, and when I listen to stories, I feel like I’m not alone… because I need to go back in 3 months. We need to take care, try to be more positive, eat healthy, exercise, take vitamins. My doctor gave me 10 days of a month Isoprinosine to repeat 3 months.. (I don't feel very okay with that treatment, but si need to take it..) I heard about AHCC mushrooms and also Turkey tail. I hope we can get through this as soon as possible! Greetings from Europe!

Did you go to leep? I did not. I take Isoprivir and use Papilocare.
@@zenbuddha5947better.. I had a .. kind of cauterisation more than a leep… but I regret it now. Better if you try treating. Or maybe was not such a mistake for me.. because I had some strange little blood before and now is all okay. Now I have my treatment too. I hope we all will be okay!
@@zenbuddha5947yes, but I regret it now… other doctors told me for lisl was not necessary. But now I did again my tests and the virus is not present anymore, I hope will continue the same. 😊 This scared me like nothing in my life, but now I’m more relaxed and positive
Struggling right now. Got results back with CIN2-3 I need a Leep and currently going through IVF I’m terrified. Thank you for sharing your story. I cried along with you.
Thank you for sharing with us❤️ i think its my time to book an appointment now for a test. 😊
hugs & love from japan❤️
please do book your appointment 🤍
Sophie, my love! Thank you so much for sharing your experience, it will help more people than you realise. Please don’t feel like you have to apologies for being real, we appreciate it!
Sending all of my love and hoping everything is okay from here on out. You’re incredible ❤️
I had an abnormal pap. I had to wait 8 weeks for the colposcopy appointment. At the 7th week mark my doctors office called to cancel and reschedule me for another 8 weeks. I told them no way that’s too far away and sure enough they were able to book me for 2 weeks. So then I got the colposcopy and a week later I was called by a nurse. She said my results are in and the doctor wants to schedule a call with me. The soonest date they had was 2 weeks out. So I’m still waiting to hear what the results are and I’ve been a nervous wreck ever since.
Any update?
@@MacielNova-h2z yes finally this week I was told the colposcopy came back benign. No cancel 🙌🏽
