Presence of precancerous cells following LLETZ

Hi,
I had my first abnormal smear about 8 years ago. I've been in and out of the Colposcopy clinic since then with only one normal smear in that time. I recently had my first LLETZ and got my results which confirm presence of precancerous cell (as they expected). No cancer cell were found. I another smear in 6 months. I'm very worried. It's alway been low grade changes. They think use of steroids might be the reason my body hasn't dealt with this it's self!
What happens if there are still abnormal cell in my next smear?
Thanks
Dear Fi
Thank you for posting this message.
I am sorry to read that you have been in and out of the colposcopy clinic over the past 8 years. It must be hard for you. It would very much be the hope from your medical team that the LLETZ treatment will be successful and that your follow up smear will be clear. It is understandable to be feeling anxious and if you would find it helpful to phone our support line and speak to a cancer nurse we can talk to you about this and other aspects regarding your previous results. Our number is 1800 200 700. We are all cancer nurses and here Mon- Fri 9-5pm
Kind regards
Cancer Nurse
