2nd Normal Pap in a row

Hi ladies! For those of you that are new here I would like to share my story... for two years in a row I was having bad pap, colp, bad pap, colp.. I was always mild to moderate dysplasia but my doc was getting tired of dealing with it and she said that she wanted to "just cut up my cervix already"...

She wanted to do a LEEP but I decied to fight back.. I started taking a strict vitamin/ mineral regimin for 6 months... finally I got a normal pap for the first time in 2 years...

 

I went for my 6 month follow up on Dec 30th, Once again normal pap... I am still HPV positive but my pap was normal!!!

 

If anyone is interested in what I was taking please let me know... Herenow puts the link to mine and Tany01's story in several posts but I am not sure how to do the link..

I wish all of the women here the same wonderful outcome that I have had.. I know that things can change and I can go back to having abnormal results but it feels good to have a reprieve...

Congratulations! I'm so ecstatic for you! I love posting the links, and I'll post them, again. This link actually has the links for both Tany01's story and Tumor's Green Drink. It also has valuable information from Trehouse.

I still wish I had read all of that before getting bullied into LEEP through scare tactics. I went in for my follow-up appointment, and the doctor let me see my cervix, again, post-LEEP. It actually looks worse 14 months after the LEEP than it did eight months after the LEEP.

It looks as if somebody repeatedly stomped through the middle of my cervix with spiked boots and then cut a landing airstrip through the right side. What makes it look so much worse is that the edges of my cervix look puffy and swollen, as if the flesh had nowhere else to go as it tried to regenerate, and so it was squashed outward. In short, it resembles the shape of certain sea anemones, only with the addition of the landing airstrip. But sea anemones are beautiful, and my cervix is just plain mangled.

I'd like to say I wish had researched the background and experience of the doctor who did the LEEP, but that's history, now. I have clung to the lesson, instead, of how valuable and necessary it is to thoroughly educate myself so that my decisions are informed.
