Cancer Free!
Thanks so much for everyone's well wishes! I just got back from the doc appointment. It turns out, they DID get all the cancer with the LEEP procedure - everything they took with the biopsy was pre-cancerous so I'm in pretty good shape! When she told me, I burst into tears. Gotta do PAPs every 4 months for the next year and then every 6 months for the next year and then it'll all be good!
Ladies - I can't tell you how important these tests are. I know they're a pain and really not fun, but I'm telling you, if I hadn't gone in to talk about getting my tubes tied, I may not have had a PAP for another couple of years and I could have been in really big trouble.
I'm so relieved now, I'm about limp! I didn't realize how stressed I was until she told me the news...
I KNEW IT!!!!!
I had "mild dysplasia" (abnormal cells) many years ago. Had cryosurgery. Had paps every 3 months - went for about 9 months and dysplasia back again. I then had a LEEP done. And that was lots of years ago. No problems since!
I wish you the same!
Since we are talking about paps and their necessity. I'll also toss in that mammograms are just as important! I do both. My pap was done earlier this year and all is well and my mammogram is scheduled for early December (remember to book early!)
I'm so happy for you, Becky!
Yippee!
