I know your scared, but I just the LEEP procedure is actually relatively painless. See many comments from other people on this procedure and they will indicate the same information. It took me 15 minutes and they numbed me up. The procedure was not bad at all. It actually seemed way too easy of a procedure to get rid of an ugly cancer. I had CIN II, CIN III, and carcinoma in SITU. After the procedure, I did not need any medication and was able to go out to eat dinner right after. You might feel like you have slight cramps, but that is it. I wouldn't undergo a hysterectomy unless the LEEP procedure is not taking care of your issue. A hysterectomy is way too much at this point for what you have. Make sure your making your decisions based on information and not from basic fear. I felt the exact same way when I first found out about my cancer, but have done lots of research and talked to 2 doctors. and have calmed myself down. Cancer is pretty scary stuff but the technology is extremely good for Cervical Cancer now. If you are still scared, I would get a second opinion.
