I was referred to the women’s health department for a Colposcopy (extra investigation) after 3 positive tests for HPV infection which could potentially lead to Cervical Cancer.
I was incredibly nervous, emotional and scared. Memories from several years ago when different investigation tests had turned out to be breast cancer were running through my head.
Harry listened to my concerns and worries. Talked me through what was going to happen and what he would be looking for.
Janet & Debbie were so kind and supportive. Listening to me and literally holding my hand throughout the procedure.
In the end there was no problem cells and I was sent back to the normal screening program. And I needed a hug at the end of it all which Janet and Debbie kindly gave.
