A minor with dysplasia

I was raped at the age of 13, and many young women have differend ways to responding to rape. My method was continuing to have multiple sex partners because I didn’t know any better, this all seemed fine until this summer, when I was diagnosed with a very high risk of cervical cancer. Last month, in August, I went from a CIN level 1 to CIN level 3 in two weeks. This cancer was spreading very rapidly, and almost gave me no time to discover my options. So the end of August, I immediately had a LEEP procedure done, which is like a laser that is supposed to remove the abnormal cell tissue area. However, I have had a pap since then at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, and they said that it was progressing still. Then were horrified to hear that I was raped again last week by a student at my college. This was the second time in my life, if not more, that this has happened to me. I had to get tested for aids, clymidia, gonnereha, and trech. I am so scared to get the results back. This cervical cancer continues on high risk (high risk dysplasia) and I live in fear of all men now. I have no trust for people in general, and that is a very hard thing when you are starting college. I just want to be happy and healthy, and not have to worry about cancer, after all, I am only 17, still, a minor with dysplasia. I am only 17 and starting college because I am a PSEO student and I got accepted to go to college a year early. So at least there are a few good things in my life right now…

  • Diagnosed with Severe Dysplasia - by KT - (Tue, Sep 04 2007)
    I had a Mirena IUD put in December of 2005. After about 6 months, I started having so many negative side effects that I couldn’t stand it anymore. So I had it removed in March of 2007. They did a PAP too and it came back abnormal. So in May they did a biopsy which showed that it was severe dysplasia. [more..]
