He said that if I had a LEEP performed, the virus would probably persist and present itself again in the tissue and I would thus be required to have another procedure performed. Maybe this is what happens to patients who have to have multiple LEEPs performed. He said that based on the findings he thinks that in my case the disease is aggressive. While I was hoping that laser would be an effective option, he felt that treating it more aggressively than even LEEP (with the cone biopsy) would provide more potential for remission.
Sacmomof2, I want to thank you for posting that. I have never understood why women keep getting multiple LEEP's. Whenever I ask about that, doctors become uncomfortable. It sounds like you got the information from the expert, himself. If the dysplasia comes back, I'm going to take this information into consideration.
I definitely hope your cone biopsy goes smoothly for you and that you don't have a recurrence. My very, very best to you. Hopefully, you have gotten more information about what to expect.
