I'm so sorry you are facing this! Do you have a loved one who can go with you? But I'm glad you got a second opinion. Did you also see the lab reports and get a full discussion about your condition? As you know, it's very critical to be as informed as possible, but it sounds like you more than likely did. (I just have to ask those questions, anyway.) I haven't had this done, so I am not the right person to tell you anything. I have been told the hot wire from LEEP leaves a burn mark around the edges of the specimen, so cold knife gives a cleaner one, but that's all I know. But hopefully, somebody who has been through this can give you information about the good and bad. Have you also gotten information from the doctor? The office should have written literature for you. Or have you checked the internet?
My very best for you!
