changes can be scary, even when we want them

My sister had this many years ago. Still here
It probably means that the cells are not what is 'usual' as our bodies age. If you are worried give the Nurse who took the sample a ring. 3-6 month regular checks until the cells are 'within normal limits' is usual if there is any doubt.

Hi Winnie - I think that changes can be down to different things so they just need to keep an eye on your to make sure that it is not the beginning of cell changes which may lead to cancer. This might be useful

Try not to worry.

Thanks for replying to the post checked up on the website helped put my at mind ease. Why can't they just say in the letter what they think it might be would save a lot of worry.
Thanks again
