This is my first normal pap in 2 years... 2 abnormal colps and now a normal pap.. I am soooo excited... ladies please take a look at Tany's message I was following the same type of regimen as she was and it has worked for the both of us...  http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,25671,0.htm chemiszt24 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT Has anyone had external & internal radiotherapy as well as chemo for cervical cancer?If so, how did you go and were the side effects really bad?My mum has cervical cancer and she decided that she only wanted to have the external radiotherapy even if it meant slowing the cancer down.She is 81 and has many other health issues which may get worse if she has all 3 treatments. With the internal radiotherapy she has been told she will have 4 doses in 2 weeks and she will need a general anaesthetic each time.When we explained this to the doctor today, he hit the roof and basically yelled at us bullying her into having all 3 forms of treatment. He yelled at us and we couldn't get a word in. He told her that she would die a slow and painful death if she didn't have the treatment and that she would not die from the treatment. I don't want to tell her not to have the treatment as it is her decision, however I feel that she will not be able to cope.Can anyone please tell me how hard the treatment isand what sort of side effects you experienced.I'm really concerned and worried.HelpRoula http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,25616,0.htm roula Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT Ok, I might be over reacting but this stuff is scary.It has been 5 weeks since I had Leep, uterin ablation, & my tubes tied. I was never told before the surgery that I might have discharge for up to 8 weeks after the ablation. Well, I know now. I can deal with that but 1 week after i was having dark bleeding, cramps & had to change my pad every hour or two. So I called the nurse she told me that was normal. Now it has been 5 weeks & I started bleeding just the same as before a few days ago. I am kinda freakin out. So I called the nurse & told her what was going on she spoke to the Dr. & called me back. She told me the Dr. Said that because I had the balloon ablation this is normal & she wants me to take birth control pills to try & stop the bleeding & if it does stop in a week to call back.I am no Dr. but I just don't feel that is right.I have not been pleased with the treatment I have gotten from my Dr. since after I had my surgeries. At my 3 week check up she gave me the pictures of the inside of my uterus & cervix, come to find out I have two small polyps in my uterus. As far as I was informed an ablation is only recomended for a healthy uterus & polyps my cause bleeding problems. So I am wondring why my Dr. would have done the ablation after seeing the polyps & before the ablation was done? She also told me that the biopsy from the leep still had CIN 1. Another thing I am wondering is at my 3 week check up she told me to come back in 6 months for my regular pap. I thought I was supposed to go back after 3 months. In fact I was told by a family member that had a leep done that her Dr. said it is a law in Washington that women that have the leep done should be seen 3 months after. I am not sure if that is true though. Do you know?On top of every thing I am having trouble with my medical insurance & am not currently covered.   http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,25599,0.htm luckymama Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hi everyone. I have my colp done today..I was so scared I started crying in the office, then again during the procedure. I had a wonderful doctor, and the pain was minimal. I am just so afraid of what happens next.....right now I am tender inside, and I feel like when I cough or sneeze something is going to pop out of me or come loose..weird...What really upset me was that the doc said I probably contracted HPV at some time, although I haven't tested + for it yet....I have to wait 2 weeks to go get results..I had 2 spots she took samples from. She said one was worse than the other...Now I wait...What I am most worried about is having kids, being healthy, and if I need to have more done, which procedure to do? any suggestons or words from experinces would help..good luck to all.. http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,25573,0.htm bofyka Mon, 30 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hi everyone,My reason for being on this discussion board was to get some support for my mum who has been diagnosed withstage 2b cervical cancer. She is 81 and is not strong enough to take on the 3 different types of treatment they are asking her to do.She has been asked to do external radiotherapy, chemo & internal radiotherapy for which she needs to be put under general anaesthetic. We have decided that she will only do the external radiotherapy to slow this cancer down.But while I was going through this message board I found a few other people who have the blood malignancy that I have. They are messages that are quite old and I am desperately looking for support with this rare disorder/cancer.I  have Essential Thrombocythemia and have had it for 15 years. I am now 49 and was diagnosed after I had my 2 children.I was on Hydrea at the beginning and because of the risk of developing Leukemia my doctor took me off it. I was then on Asprin for about 6 years but have stopped that too.My count is now at 710 and goes up and down. I also have an enlarged spleen and have had the JAK2 mutation blood test and I am negative.I don't totally understand what that means but my doctor said that I am lucky that it is negative. He also says that its not if I get worse its just a case of when. He says that this condition usually goes for about 10-15 years before things start to go wrong. Well I've reached 15 years and I'm starting to get nervous.My doctor insists that I have a well balanced diet and a no stress life.Yeah right..........thats going to happen....no stress.....But he insists that stress makes this condition worse.With the diet I personally don't think it changes ET at all but it does ensure our immune system is in top order and able to fight off whatever is thrown at us.I lost my father 8 years ago to lung cancer and now I am caring for my mum. I just hope that my time isn't coming up soon as I really want to be aroung for my daughter's weddings.I want to more about this condition so if anyone has anything that they feel can help please let me know.Good luck to you all and strength to all of us. http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,25510,0.htm roula Sat, 28 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT My mother age 62 is suspect of cervical cancer as told by Doctor of Apollo Hospital, Delhi.On viewing examination she declare it is cancer with some staging. Upon the following the Punch Biopsy conducted by her and reading its report things made very confusing. As opinion is mixed and HISTOPATHOLOGY reports has something other than what doc thinks.Please can any expert let me know what the below comment of HISTOPATHOLOGY indicates::Gross_Description::Five, irregular, grey white pieces, measure 5mm to 1.1cm in size. 5Pieces, 1block, A/EComment::Histological appearance is that of CINI to CINII. Subepithelial tissue is not included in abnormal pieces for ruling out invasive carcinoma. Please correlate with clinical picture.What does above report means? What is accuracy of report?   http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,25457,0.htm SatyaS Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT I am writting abt my mother, aged 52 years. She was diagnosed in Aug 2006 with 1B2 (Ca Cervix ). Post which she had Complete Hysterectomy. However within 3 months there was a recurrence in the virgina (11/06). Post which she was given 28 rads/with 6 small does of cisplatin 01/07, followed by 3 internal rads - 02/07 and finally 4 cy's of chemos - last one on 06th June 07. She was NED (no evidence of disease) for 10 months. However the most recent scan (PET 30th April 2008) has shown one lymph node near esophagus as positive for Cancer.My mother is not keen to do any chemo - so she was given 25 rounds of radiation (which she completed yesterday)I am very keen that we do something at this stage, so i want to know if anyone is getting targetted therapy (Avastin, Laptanip, etc) and how is it working for them? What is the cost of such medicines? Any other details on side effects, etc.I will be discussing Targetted Therapy with my doctor this friday - so any information before that would be very very helpful.Thanks for reading my long email.

After my second pap came back abnormal with no HPV we did a colposcpy and was told I had CIN I&2. I did same day surgery in the hospital  under sedation and had no problems at all. I had minimal bleeding and stayed off my feet as instructed, My concern now is that the bleeding has stopped but has been replaced by a gray to black  fluid with a slight odor. I called my gyno and the nurse said that this was "normal". Anyone else have this occur. I have a problem with an odor being"normal". Thanks for your input. http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,25248,0.htm IrishKat Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT I'm looking for advice, last week I had my yearly exam as I do every year even though I'm only 27. 2 days ago the dr called me back and told me that my pap was abnormal and that a HPV test came back positive for high risk HPV. Now the problem is that I'm a photojournalist and I'm leaving the country next week for my very first book project. The Dr seemed really admit that I come in before I leave on Tuesday or Wednesday for a Colposcopy and possibly a biopsy and they even rescheduled some other appointments to get me in tomorrow. My Dr is leaving town on Saturday and won't be back until after I leave. I will be in the 3rd world until August shooting for a nonprofit. Well my period started this evening so I called and left a message for my physicians assistant and her nurse called me back and told me that they can't do it if they can't see the cervix. She told me it's not a big deal and to just wait until I come back in 2 or 3 months and come in then. However I don't know that I can live 2 or 3 months with that hanging over my head. Even if the test results were not good I would rather know while I'm working or be free from the concern. My question now is I didn't cancel the anointment since it was just the assistants nurse that called me. I think that tomorrow I will instead take a bath or clean up really well right before I go and since it's only day 2 the bleeding shouldn't be much at all. Is there any reason that they can't simply rinse it off when they apply the solution to the cervix if I show up and there is any blood on it? If that just won't work maybe I can get in with another Dr before I go or something. Can anyone tell me if you guys think it's urgent to get this done before I go or if it's not a big deal and 3 months time won't make a difference anyway as the nurse said. Also are there going to be changes in my cervix because on menstruation that will make the test impossible anyway? Any info anyone can give me would be great! Thanks http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,25237,0.htm izabellaleah Thu, 19 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hi..I am 31 years old, and just got a call that my pap, 3 MONTHS AGO. Showed positive for HGSIL. I am worried...I am a RN and still don't have the information and resources I need. Anyone have this, what is the treatment..I just got married and we want to have a baby, were planning to try soon..Anyone know if you can have  a baby after treatment for it?? Sorry so many questions. I am worried I won't get to have kids...or worse...I have a colposcopy in a week...not sure about that either..any help is greatly appreciated.. God Bless... http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,25165,0.htm bofyka Wed, 18 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT This is kind of embarassing but a serious question. I had a leep, my tubes tied & an ablation of my uterus 3 weeks ago.I had my check up last week & asked my Dr. how long before I can do "it" with my husband & she told my two weeks because of the leep. She said if it were just my tubes & the ablation I could all ready but my cervix needs to heal nothing bumpin into it. I am wondering if it would be safe to orgasam if there is no penatration? http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,25120,0.htm luckymama Tue, 17 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT I just had my leep procedure yesterday, june 16/08. This was the most single, terrifying and uncomfortable thing i have ever had to go through. My procedure was done in the or. but somehow along the way i let my gynocologist talk me out of sedation!! Big mistake. As she was injecting the third needle into my cervix for numbing, she said how i should be frozen now (i was still feeling everything)... however the fourth needle just about sent me through the roof - obviously the freezing had not worked on my cervix. I was having a complete panic attack, between the pain and my fear I could not slow down my breathing, my whole body was rigid like a board. She did end up calling the anesthesiologist and i was set up with an iv and sedated, I woke up 25 minutes later and it was over, which is how it should have been to begin with. I have not had any cramping, but have had some dishcharge already ( it is suppose to get worse as the cervix is healing).  However i do feel a lot of pressure, some burning and even the same sensation as when I was being injected. I also have been needing to urinate quite freqently. I feel traumatized by my whole experience. My heart races and i totaly remember the fear and pain while laying there with my legs strapped open, I am having a real hard time getting over it, even though it's over. Ladies sedation is the way to go, i hope your experience is not as bad as mine. http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,25113,0.htm ilovemydogz Tue, 17 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hi everyone. Im here to tell you my HPV story. I should start by telling you all that I am 33 years old.In January of 2008 I had my yearly pap smear test and my test came back positive for HPV. My doctor then told me I needed to get a Colposcopy test. My results came back positive for CIN II. My doctor then recommended I have a LEEP and some Laser treatment to kill the abnormal cells. I scheduled the procedure but I started to research more about CIN II. I started with one website (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_papillomavirus ) and I focused more on the nutrition part. I read about all the different vitamins the body might be significantly deficient. Eventually I came across another website that made me question the procedure even more (http://www.pap101.com ). I realized I didn't need much convincing on NOT wanting to have the procedure done. I read about some doctors prescribing natural ways to deal with CIN II and CIN III. I decided to schedule a consultation with my doctor because now I had many questions. I brough up the article where I read what vitamins I could take that would take away the CIN II. I remember my doctor telling me that if I wanted to try and re-test in 3-4 months that we could, but that it was not reccomended for someone in that stage. She also said she did not believe that it would go away but that it was my decision to make. I decided I would wait and re-test. I followed what the article said. I started taking Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, folic acid and even some CoQ10(I read in the wikipedia that women with CIN had lower levels of CoQ10 in their blood). I wanted to try anything I could to prevent from having to get the LEEP done. I rescheduled my pap and colposcopy for 4 months later. It has been 6 months since this all started and I went to get my results today and everything has come out NEGATIVE. I was so happy I just wanted to get out of the office and start dancing. My doctor said, "Whatever you were doing, keep on doing it". I didn't rub it in her face and I don't even feel is her fault. She was following what doctors use as a guideline on what to do for women who get CIN II. Now I just have to go back in 4 months to retest. My boyfriend was so upset, he told me I need to share this information with other women. So here I am telling you all my story because there may be someone out there that is not ready to get this procedure done, like myself, and wants to try something else. I don't know if it was the vitamins or something else but my tests results are clear and I hope the same happens to someone else who wants to try this out.The thought of having to have the LEEP done was very scary for me and I had it stuck in my head that I would not go through this procedure no matter what my doctor said. I am so glad that I didn't have to go through it.Good luck! http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,25090,0.htm tany01 Mon, 16 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT I just had the LEEP today and was really freaked out beforehand. Diagnosed with CIN 1-2 for one biopsied specimen and CIN 3 for the other. I had a bad time with the colpo so was afraid of what the LEEP would be like. I think the thing that made the LEEP bearable is that I was given a shot of Versed which makes you kind of out of it though I was aware of what was going on. It helps to relax you and to reduce anxiety. I also took 4 midol spread out in the morning before. I was struggling with whether to do it in the OR or not, but am glad I just opted for the office and to be drugged up in the process. The shots into the cervix were minimally painful and the actual LEEP part did not hurt too bad at all. I am now having some cramps and pray that it doesn't get worst. I guess I will see what the results of the tissue are and pray that it's not cancer and that the abnormal cells do not come back! I have appreciated reading everyone's input about their own experiences. If you have not had the LEEP yet, no worries, just ask your doc if you can please get something to drug you up a bit or Valium or something so you're not on edge like I was if you are not going under general anesthesia.Take care and best wishes to all. http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,25012,0.htm trying2chill Fri, 13 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT I hope someone can add some insight. I was diagnosed last July with cervical cancer. I underwent 45 radiation treatments - 6 cisplaten chemo treatments and 2 implant radiation treatments. To be honest other than some very loose bowels and fatigue I did pretty well during the duration of the treatments.  about 7 months after my last radiation treatment was when the side effects really started. Now I have chronic constipation and what my or may not be hemoroids. I wasn't told about the whole dialalation thing until after the fact. I am know dialation one a day. Owch!!! I can tell that I am stretching the skin because of the stinging when I use it and by the fact that there is some trace blood sometimes as I expand the vaginal wall and the cervix but no big deal no real bleeding but just a tinge.  The bowell issues are a different matter all together. Like I said chronic constipation. Can I or should I use a softener or Milk of Magnesia or something?  When I do finally go the bowel movements are small and sometimes there is a very small amount of bleeding involved. Does anyone know if this could be a late term side effect or possible hemmoroids? Anyone experience this same lovley phenominon? I have had all of my three months exams and scans and so far everything is looking good. Has anyone had any of these issues after treatment? I am scheduled to return to the doctor on July 14th not sure what will happen then but as most of who have been through cancer know the thought of going to the doctor is a bit terrifying.  http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,24995,0.htm connieh Fri, 13 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hi, I am new to the board - I am a 31 year old mother of 6, who was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2006.  I had a hysterectomy in May of 2006, followed by chemotherapy and radiation - external and internal.  I was recovering from that, and in January of 2007 I was told that the cancer had recurred, and that I would need an operation that would remove my bladder, rectum and vagina - a pelvic exenteration.  I had that operation in March 2007, and continued to have problems for a number of months after that.  I had a lot of problems with vomiting, due to the fact that I kept getting urinary tract infections since I now had a urostomy - a bag that collects my urine, which hangs off the front of my stomach.  Fortunately, by Gods grace, since I have been taking cranberry concentrate pills on a daily basis, I have not had anymore problems with urinary infections.I would like to know if there is anyone else out there who has gone through an exenteration, and to know how they have done since their operation.  Also, I would gladly answer any questions anyone would have about this, since this is a very rare procedure. Thank you all for telling your stories - we all need support from others who have gone through our particular type of cancer.Renee http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,24980,0.htm momof6 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hello everyone.  I am a 27 year old and I have just been diagnosed with moderate (maybe severe) dysplasi.  I don't know how it got to this point. I go to the dr. every year for a pap. I wonder how this went under the radar. I  am trying not to get to worried,but I can not even sleep at night. Has anyone has a LEEP? Was is successful?  I am scheduled to have one in two weeks. My doctor said that I do not have cancer, but he wants to take care of the abnormal cells....b/c it can turn into cancer.  I have not been given a death sentence. But Cancer in my mind equal death. I know we all have to die someday, but I would like to live a full life.   Does anyone know of any vitamins I can take to help my body recover and get rid of the HPV virus any faster?  Or will this virus be with me forever?  I am not married. I don't want to have to tell my future husband that I have HPV, a STD that can cause cancer.  Someone please respond and share your story. I need to hear from someone who knows what I am feeling. ThanksAJ   http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,24932,0.htm angiejo1980 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hi there! I've been all over the place with this HPV thing! First, a positive HPV in June 2007 with normal cells. Very upset, but got over it. Then, abnormal pap in Jan. 2008. Very upset then came to terms with it. Then, the need for a colpo with biopsies. Freaking out, calmed down then went through with it. I had a pretty bad experience and felt a good deal of pain during the biopsies and mainly after when my doc had to stop the bleeding with the big q tips. I started turning white and my lips were turning blue so i was told. i started shaking and seeing stars and feeling like i was about to throw up. I got kind of dissociated from reality like i was about to faint and apparently became instantly sweaty on my forehead. It really was a negative experience. The nurse called the Dr back in bc i was looking pretty grim. I was in bed for the entire day with terrible cramps, but my boyfriend was there during the colpo, so that was very helpful.The next week, I get a call from my doc who said it looked "pretty good in there" during the colpo, but they wanted me to come in to talk about the test results and getting a Leep. I was again very very bummed out to hear that it actually was bad news. I went in to see my doc who said that one biopsied specimen was CIN 1 and the other was CIN 11-111. She said she agreed it would be best for me to go under general anesthesia for the Leep because of how bad I did with the colpo.My boyfriend was freaking out and insisted i get a 2nd opinion. I went to another doc in my network who agreed with my 1st doc but said in so many words that my first doc (who he had heard of) is not someone that he would recommend but that he was sure she was capable of preforming the procedure. The 2nd doc appeared older with maybe shaky hands and a weird fungal growth on his thumb. So I didn't completely trust him to do the leep either (even though it is supposed to be a simple procedure).This was all unsettling so i ended up paying out of pocket to go out of my network to a doc associated with a top gyno hospital. Sorry for the long backstory, but here's my question. This 3rd doc says that i don't need general and that it is very unneccesary. He said he can drug me up with something in my IV where i'm basically in Lala land and just do it locally. After he left breifly and came back into the office he says, "you know what, it's your choice, we can go ahead and do it in the surgical center if you really want to under general though it does not seem worth it since you're paying out of pocket" He gave me time to think about it, but i really need to make a decision quick!My question to the board is: what would you recommend doing?I have to pay $1000 out of pocket for doing the leep it in the office locally and $2400 out of pocket to do it in the OR under general. I'm really torn, the price difference is an influencial factor, but i just still don't know. From what I'm hearing, people generally have a better time with the leep under general anesthesia and more chance of feeling traumatized and bad with the local. Can someone speak on these 2 options and let me know what you think someone with a lot of anxiety over the leep and a bad experience with the colpo should do??Thanks so much for any help!! http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,24769,0.htm trying2chill Fri, 06 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT What are some of the risks associated with exercising after a leep procedure? http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,24733,0.htm luzadris Thu, 05 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT I had a hysterectomy in 1997 because of cervical cancer.
