Hi there, I have been in a similar situation. I had to ask my doctor
to write down the proper terms for what was happening, what the
growth was called, etc.. In my case I had adenocarcinoma in situ
in the cervix, had the tumour removed surgically and will need a
hysterectomy. (also 28 no kids.. but she has given me a few
years before I have the hysterectomy)
But what has helped a lot is knowing the proper terms for what
was happening. The doctor did not volunteer this, I had to ask
for it. Then you can do research on sites like this or on the web
sites like cancer.org to understand it better, or of course talk to
your doctor.
good luck, Alli
