Josie did you get your results after your colposcopy and then more after the LEEP? I too had the colposcopy last week and have my LEEP on Friday but didn't think their might be more results (thought I got them after the colp.). Thanks for the advice on not driving. I know every body is different but I have a 1 1/2 drive to the docs and like you said, my doc said I would be fine to drive home. I think I'll re-thing tha :)
hi.yes, i had a colposcopy and got my results in a week.the docter said that at the area where he took the samples wasn't the area where the cancer is at.my docter said that it would help to do the "Leep", i said sure if it will help. i forgot to mention in my original post that, after my "Leep" the itchy feeling that i had been suffering from for about a month, completely went away, maybe because they took the whole chunk of tissue.At, the moment i am having my good days which are when i do hardly anything around the house or just nothing, or else i start to bleed,and get the pelvic pain.This morning i did get some blood clots and now i need to call the docter.I guess you will bleed for two weeks. I had instruction of taking care of myself after the Leep. No, heavy lifting especially above the head or so. No, intercourse at all.Nothing, to be put in the vagina area like tampons or stuff. I must say that everyone is different and i have read that many people have no discomfort at all that is great for them, but for me i'm feeling helpless the bleeding and having to wear pantiliners or a pad isn't a joyful thing, it gets hot.Just, today i was able to sit on my bottom, haven't been able to since the Leep, the pressure in the area hurted a lot. I bought a "plastic doughnut"thing it helped a lot and make sure you have tylenol.Get, plenty of rest when your body tells you and take care of yourself. I was amazed at the docters office that the office manager said- it's no big deal this Leep procedure.She wouldn't be saying that if it was her,getting the procedure. I am waiting for my Leep results, will be going into the docter on thursday the 21st.My other concern was that the day after the Leep i got my period so i'm not sure if i'm healing at all.Now, the period has gone away and it hurt even more after the period dried up.Every movement can be felt, have been carring my plastic vinyl doughnut around:) I've bee very fortunate that my family has been a great support. I'm just scared to get the results. I have read on line that many people get the bad news about the cancer spreading and stuff. I just pray that its not to bad news.
