I am so sorry to hear of both your bereavement and awful experiances of abuse as a child. It was incredibly brave to have told your GP what happened to you and understandably you need and deserve to have support around both the smear test itself and the feelings it may or may not evoke afterwards.
Is there anyone you trust to have in the room with you whilst you have the smear test or do you feel you trust your GP to do the smear test herself perhaps if that were possible?
Would it be helpful to have some councelling or therapy beforehand/ set up already?
Maybe you could book a double appointment with your GP and have a longer chat with her about some of these issues above.
Well done for being so brave and opening up to her xxx
