Prayers and good thoughts, please

I got a diagnosis of cervical cancer on Friday and I'm off to the
oncologist tomorrow. Don't know much yet except it's not the
relatively-easy-treat-stage-0-squamous-cell kind.

(Dear friend needs some good thoughts, too--he was laid off on short
notice today, a victim of the state budget downsizing.)

Ladies, don't forget that yearly unpleasantness with the GYN folks. It
can be a lifesaver!

Many warm thoughts and cyber hugs headed your way.

Monique,

I have to ask....have the done the other two tests (not just the pap)?
I was also given this diagnosis, and then they referred me for one test,
which confirmed it, and led to the second test, which was a LEEP
conectomy. That test refuted the cervical cancer diagnosis and found
only that I had abnormal cell growth.

Please, please ask about these tests if you haven't already had one. If
you want more information about either of them, feel free to email me
privately.

I had some similar problems 20 years ago. I would suggest
ask for a second opinion on treatment. I was lucky to have
a fried with similar stuff who was married to a dr. They were
very helpful. Do some research so you know what they are
talking about when you go in. Is there a reason drs. offices
call you with news like that on Friday afternoon with nobody
to talk to until a week or more later? MAkes you crazy.
We'll all be thinking of you Monique.

Wishing you a complete recovery, and hoping they've caught it early
enough.

Here in Oz (NSW at least) they have a register if you choose to be on it,
which sends out reminder notices when you're due for your next test.
Saves you having to remember when your due for one!
