That is good that she can be seen without having to wait - some people have to wait 6 weeks for their first appointment - hope all goes well for her - it is a very anxious time

Hey there, I think you are saying that she had a smear test and had abnormal cells, so she now has to go into hospital.
Don't worry, it probably isn't cancer yet. I have the same thing. I have had 3 abnormal smears and have to go into hospital to the Colposcopy clinic. Check out this link:

It's not a pleasant experience, but just remember, cervical cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer when caught early.

a pap smear test. A doctor scraps the cervix to get a few cells and checks them. They check some under a microscope and some in a tube with some kinda of liquid it it. Abnormal Cells makes her need another test maybe a biopsy. Doctor takes a piece of the cervical tissue and look at it. I've had it done. hurts a bit.

What king of cancer? Some kinds of cancer a treatable for a long time. Others with lager cell types move to fast. I am sorry, for you, and to hear such bad news. Best of luck.

not used much now - machines to do that.
THat is the thing that bothers me the most - waiting for results.
Hope this helps, it is my experiance

hope she's ok.
do you mean she has a colposcopy appointment? that's what they do when abnormal cells are found from a smear test, they have a look and see what's going on.
