Hi all...I'm grateful for this board. I had cryo 10 years ago because of abnormal pap. I then had 2 children. Now I had a pap on June 21 and was referred to a gyne/onc for a colposcopy and biopsy. She did that and said that due to the results "moderately invasive carcinoma" I should have a radical hysterectomy with removal of lymph nodes and "probably" no addition treatment. My questions are this: Has anyone ever heard of the hysterectomy with lymph node removal in a case like this? Does anyone know any GREAT gyn/onc in the Chicago area? Does anyone know of any holistic help that I can start on? I will have the surgery anyway...but I am just not certain about the lymph removal or is this just standard practice? I have a call into the dr. and the clinic, but seems really agressive (maybe it should be?) I am 35 yo and don't care about the removal of the uterus...I am keeping my ovaries.
