To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download Mild Case of Displasia It was mid January 2006 when I got the results of my yearly physical and when the doctor told me that I had precancerous cells in my cervix, I just about fainted. Cancer…hearing that word in my diagnosis just devestated me and I thought that I was going to die. My husband died of colon cancer 14 years ago and there’s nothing more heartbreaking than watching your loved one be taken from you by cancer. It was explained to me tho that I didn’t have cancer, I had cervical displasia which could develop into cancer but that takes at least 10 years to become cancerous and right now all it is .. is a virus…a virus that was probably caused by sexual partners. I had a boyfriend at the time of a year and when I found of my dilema I just wasn’t the same with him anymore…I resented him and all men for that matter and today I can tell you that I am single again and have been for 4 months, since mid January of this year. Resentment built up in me and the relationship ended. I had only 2 sexual partners between my physicals and can’t believe it happened to me…so now…all I want is for this thing to go away..preferably on its own…so no sex for me and I don’t really miss it much because my health is more important. I have been referred to the hospital for my 6 month check-ups and I’ve had 3 of them so far and it has always stayed as a mild case of displasia. It’s affected my life to the point where I’m afraid to make any plans in my life…I’m not as happy as I could be because of this fear. It is real and it is here and I have to deal with it and hopefully all will be well…hopefully. I am 51 years old and still love life…still want to live it out and I hope I hope I will have all the answers I need to do that. Comments
