hypochondria vindicated

My letter today from the NHS people told me that my recent smear test showed changes in the cells. I have a high level of confidence in the NHS people, so I'm very happy to believe that there's nothing to worry about. The associated leaflet seems to be telling me that they think I have HPV, which I'm more perturbed by. Mostly I feel a small sense of satisfaction that all the prodding around in smear tests have not been for nothing. Though miffed that I have to have more poking in six months.
