Freaking Out Over E.C.C. - Any Positive Stories?

Hi,

 I just had my colpo today and my doc saw some white cells in the cervical canal so he performed the E.C.C. (endocervical curettage). He said I'll have results in a week.

I am hardcore stressing over this - has anyone had results from an E.C.C. come back negative? If not, what did you do?

I am still in a bit of shock over all these recent developments (mild dysplasia and now possible pre-cancer or cancerous cells). I'm so scared. Please, if anyone has a story with a happy ending after getting an E.C.C. I would love to hear it. Or, if you had a bad result that ended OK in the long run, that would be great too!!!! Thank you!!!

My colpo is scheduled for next Monday. I am sure I will be having some of the same feelings you are going through right now. I am just taking one day at a time and keeping my faith strong. I am thankful for this message board and the folks that share their stories. It makes  me feel more at ease wtih everything.

Hi!

 I know, this web site is a wonderful resource - I continue to be amazed and grateful for all the women who have posted here. 

I'll do my best to email you when I get my results from today's check up and hopefully it will be good news and I'll be able to give you inspiration that it will be OK.

Like you I am also trying to just go one day at a time. As everyone else has seemed to say, the waiting is certainly the word. For me, just knowing what I am dealing with makes such a huge difference - but the not knowing what I have yet to face is just killing me.

Good luck to you and I'll be in touch - hopefully. I am brand new to this message board thing so I might forget. You can always ask though if you don't here from me. Or, after your procedure if you want to talk, let me know!!!

Advice for Monday - the procedure was fast and easy. It did feel a bit weird - not so much painful as just "dang, never felt THAT before" but it did seem on par with a very mild menstrual cramp. I took two Tylenol extra strength capsules an hour and a half before my procedure and that might have helped. Now I just feel a little lower back tightness and have super light spotting - am told that is expected.

Ok, sorry, enough rambling. (I am a professional writer and tend to get carried away with words!)  

Thanks so much!

 ON a side note, what type of writing do you do? A few years back, after some bad experiences in life, asd part of healing,  I picked up the paper and pen and started to write. I have written alot of different poems, some articles and such, but have never really sent any of them for publication.

Have a great day!
