Answer 1

My daughter had border line smear result about a year ago and I was terrified. She had it repeated and was still the same. In the end she had the cells lazered off and the next smear she was fine. Remember those cells will take about 20 years before they could definitely be identified as cancer. Also remember that sometimes borderline cells often revert back to normal production on their own. I worry too so I understand but just do exactly as the docs say, keep your appointments and you will be fine. She was 22 at the time.

Answer 2

according to my better half, a smear test is basically the doctor scrapping a section off the inner surface of the cervix to look for any abnormal cell structure,, the fact that your smear showed border line abnormalities does not in any way meen you have cancer, the bodies cells can change and it is the changing cell patterns that can lead to cancer if they are not treated, the smear test is the medics way of keeping an eye on any potential problems and it gives them any early warning of a potential problem.
here in the uk it is standard practice after a irregular smear to re-call you initially every 3 months just to make sure everything is well, after a couple of these checks your gp will make the visits every 6 months and eventually every couple of years providing the results are what he expects.
it sounds as if you have a good medical team and they are doing what is best for you to ensure you dont get any cancerous cells..
relax my friend and if you dont believe what i am saying is true, sit down and ask your doctor to explain in laymans terms just to get more reassurance,

good health and good luck

relax okay
