5 colposcopys, 1 leep
by: lc on Thu, Nov 29 2007

I had my first abnormal pap about 8 years ago, which i ignored and went about my life like nothing.
Then in 2003 I had another abnormal pap and had my 1st colposcopy which I found out that i had high grade or severe dysplasia. A LEEP shortly followed that and my doctor said all was clear, and the few follow up procedures showed it was removd with the leep procedure.

Of the four annual exams i have had since then, 3 have come up abnormal have had 3 more colposcopys done since then and each time my doc says that she removed all the abnormal cells by doing the colp. Well, my last one was march, here i am a little over six months later and again have severe dysplasia, going for another colposcopy tomorrow. This just doesnt seem to want to go away.

Im wondering what is next after the leep? I have read other postings about a cone procedure, I dont know but it certainly is not something i want to have to go through. The leep was scary enough.
I feel so alone, when i tell family or friends, they dont really get it..
this has caused me to have alot of depression just not knowing what will happen next.

It makes me fell better to know there are others that i can share my story with and understand what i am going through.
