Sorry guys about this but im starting to worry.
I went for my first smear 2 months ago (i know ive left it very late as im 28 now) never got any results back and yesterday i have a letter saying im due for another smear and due to my last results i cant ignore this letter and to book one asap!!
First thing i thought of is OMG! And Jade come to mind.Im sooo stupid for ignoring those letters till im 28!I could kick myself!Im phoning up docs in a min.How many have you lot been called back for another smear?Im really starting to panick!

Im not sure chick I dont have to go for smears yet.

But I wouldnt worry, a very common thing when you get smears is a few abnormal cells than they burn away..

I wouldnt panic chick, I think they are being alot more careful with any type of abnormal cells because of the whole hype with the Jade Goody thing xxxx

I've heard of a few people being called back for smears, I wouldn't worry about it. With Jade's story being very recent I'm sure they are being very thorough which is good. You're getting the best treatment. Good luck.

Firstly I'd check with the surgery there isn't a mix up with appointments, and if you do have to go back then it's probably just abnormal cells, lots of women have them. I've had a couple of call backs too - when you ring back, if they say you do have an appointment, ask why.

I'm sure it'll all be fine, and your doing the best thing by having smears/returning etc.

Hi,
glad you rang the doctors and seem at peace about it now. Unfortunately there is a percentage who are called back but fortunately most of these are just for a recheck. I know it is something I must do as it has been a few years. Best of luck with it.

I have had to be called back a few times for re-testing, all due to insufficient cells being taken! I even had to go to hospital for a colposcopy (not very nice) but it turned out also for the same reason as the retesting, these were all carried out by a nurse, so now I only have it done by my GP and haven't had any problems since....
