Yes i've had this twice. two years in a row. It's just the same as having the smear test, only they take a bit away, usually by a device which is like a hot cheese wire. Depending on your age {childbearing} they might give it a bit of lazer as well. But please dont worry about it. You should feel nothing.

Thanks everyone....... Elaine - try not to worry - I decided not to worry until/unless I needed to - for me personally I suspect it's just changes that come with a certain age.

Elaine - yes I know hun - the waiting is always the worst part - I have had to wait 8 weeks just to hear if I needed treatment or not, but it will pass quickly - (((hugs))) xx

3rd UPDATE Been back this afternoon for my treatment - not too bad - more uncomfortable than anything, along with the anxiety of being kept waiting nearly an hour !!! Get more reults from today in 12 weeks - another of the 'usual' checks in 6 months, then another 6 months after that and then annual ones for the next TEN YEARS !!!!!!! Blimey .....

Hi Elaine LOL - they did that with me too - each time I got my appt letter - then got a reminder 2 days later .............. It's really not so bad tho - and he kept stressing it's NOT cancer, but left untreated there is obviously a risk. You'll be fine and try not to let it spoil your christmas xx
