0 Recommendations

my story: i had two abnormal pap smears, six months apart, previous clear pap 3 years befor. then a colposcopy,had cin 2/3. i had no symptoms. doctor wanted to perform a leep. had appointment a month after. in that month had symptoms of discharge and some odour.had leep done, healed well.
a month after leep i had letter asking me to come in for another appointment. i was concerned as thought follow up was usually 6 months later.saw the proff at colp unit who told me i had 1mm spot of cancer but was all removed. he expressed surprise at how quickly it had changed from cin level .said to have colp check up in 6months, as did not think hysterectomy needed. so am still worried, what might be next?
