just got result from smear test reading: atypical squamous cells consistent with high intraepithelical lesion (hsil)are present (cin 3),invasion cannot be excluded.
Does this confirm any type of cancer present or a precancer condition needing immediate attention. had not had a smear for about 10 years before now.

No, it does not mean that you have cancer. I got similar pap results last year. I had a procedure done called a colposcopy where they do a biopsy- take a small sample of cells from your cervix. They then do further tests on the sample. Mine came back fine and my next pap smear was normal.
Good luck with your colpo.
