To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download TERRIFIED 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. Comments
