TERRIFIED


by: K on Fri, Feb 08 2008

This past July I had my first abnormal pap EVER. The results showed I had HPV I was shocked and so embarrassed. I was a month away from my wedding. I went back in for the colposcopy and a follow up laser procedure– this was just two weeks before my wedding. I had a follow up pap in November, along with a colposcopy in December. The results showed mild dysplasia CIN 1. I am not scheduled for a follow-up colposcopy until April!

I am just terrified that things will only get worse by then. I am a happily married newly wed. I am thrilled about our future and want to grow old with him! He is the second person I ever slept with. But this just makes me feel trashy. I cry all of the time. I want this to go away. I had no idea sex can lead to cervical cancer! I feel like I did this to myself. Like I gave myself cancer– well precancerous cells so far. The fact that cells can just change on their own, and are not doing what they should in my body is freaking me out. If anyone has any comfort or advice that applies, I would love it. I just feel like I have been given a death sentence.

    Girls Corner: The story of how I reversed cervical dysplasia and candida By: Bueller I have been trying to decide how to write up what I have been through for the past few months. I thought about writing a succinct page and calling it the “girls corner”. There is so much information in my head it is really overwhelming to try and write it all down on one page so I will be updating this often. I wanted to get something down in the meantime for those that were interested. [more..]

    I’m a little concern about how quickly my dysplasia went from mild to severe. I had my first bad pap back in July. They said I showed signs of mild dysplasia. Went back for a follow up pap three months later and they said it had progress and had me come in for the colcoscopy. [more..]
