Although I'm grateful there's this community to talk about things, I think I'm even more scared than I was prior to reading! I am scheduled to have the LEEP procedure done next month and I'm very scared. I have high grade displasia and my doctor isn't concerned that it's cancer.. right now anyway. My doctor said I had the choice to either have it done now or wait until after I have my first child - I am hoping to get pregnant in the next year. I am also a smoker (I know, stupid).. I want to quit soon and I've heard smoking increases your risk of cervical cancer. Does anybody have thoughts on 1.) Should I get the procedure done now or wait until post-baby? and/or 2.) Smoking stinks.. has anybody else had this procedure done and is a smoker?
Thanks.. I'm really scared!
