well, it's official. we found out last night that it is in fact cancer. i need to call my doctor after january 7th and we can set up an appointment for surgery. needless to say i have been doing a lot of reading on the internet about hysterectomies, chemotherapy, radiation, etc...
its very scary, but i am trying my best to stay optimistic about all of this. its not the fact that i am fighting cancer for the second time in my life, but the fact that i am fighting. and i will continue to fight for as long as it takes.
this is not the end of my life, but the beginning. my outlook and perspectives are finally taking form. and though i am far from being an olympic athlete, i can and will jump any hurdle this life has to offer. i have the right to free will, the right to free speech and i have the right to live. i have been alive for 37 years, but now is when i finally start living.
Rain, Rain go away!

Hi. I'm 26 and I've been married for 5 1/2 years. We have 3 beautiful children. I've been on the depo shot for a little over a year. When I had my yearly papsmear, they found that I have HPV. Apparently, it's been dormant for several years. I had a colposcopy and a biopsy done a few weeks ago. When the results came back, I was told that I have mild dysplasia. The doctors told me that I shouldn't get pregnant at this time and that I should continue with my regular birth control. They also told me that I don't need any treatment right now because it may regress on it's own. I go back in 4 months for another papsmear, colposcopy, biopsy, etc. I'm really scared because I don't have insurance. I am the mother of 3 kids and they want to wait??? What if it progresses quickly and I end up with cervical cancer??? Please help with any advice you can give. Thanks
Also, my husband may have this as well. If he's my only partner for the rest of my life, won't we just keep passing HPV back and forth to one another? That's just a thought...
