      <title>Suggestions: Colposcopy</title>
      <description>Hello everyone,

Alittle history about me...I started having abnormal pap results about 3 years ago.  I was told to come back every 3 months and it was always the same...abnormal.  That was the only explanation I would get from my Dr.   I started having some spotting this past Oct/05 so it prompted me to call and book a pap. I thought it might have been 6 months since i had a pap done but it turns out it was almost 2 years (I tell you..having 3 kids makes time fly).  So I went for my pap in Nov and just got called yesterday that I have a colposcopy scheduled for this coming Tuesday, that there were yet again changes in my cells.  

Honestly, I'm trying not to worry...but I started thinking should I?  I'm alittle nervous that my paps have been abnormal for 3 years now and they are only finally doing a colposcopy.  The good news I guess is that I am 30 and have 3 children already with no plans on having anymore.  My gosh though, reading some stories about radiation and chemo..hysterectomys is making me worry more about how I will be able to work and take care of my kids...not even about the cancer (if I have it).

I guess I'd like to hear what my chances are of having cancer?  If they ordered this test is it bad news?  Thanks in advance.</description>
