Good day all :)
Ok...a quick run down for those of you who are not familiar with my history.
1. had pap
2. came back not so good
3. had colposcopy
4. lab results showed CIN III
5. Gyn suggests suggests total hysterectomy assures me time and time again it's not cancer.
6. 2 weeks later I have the hysterectomy.
7. lab results on cervix show invasive cervical cancer.
8. Gyn says...no big deal and sends me to oncologist.
9. Oncologist is very pissed at original Gyn because he did not follow standard procedure and give me a cone biopsy and now has to estimate the stage of the cancer. Either stage 1a or 1b. Can't determine if there was lymph node involvement or not because wrong hysterectomy was performed for person having stage 1a or 1b cervical cancer. Can't go back in and take lymph nodes for dissection.
10. I did 7 weeks of external radiation
11. Next 5 paps come back good. All scans, xrays etc. come back good.
12. 1 and 1/2 years later, 6th pap smear comes back as "ASCâHâatypical squamous cells cannot exclude a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion."
Gyn Oncologist and Rad Oncologist think this could just be from the damage the radiation did to me and that it will clear up on its own. They did say there is always the chance that it is precancerous, but their instincts are telling them no. I'm going back for another pap in 2 months. If it comes back with the same results we are then looking at other tests.
I zoned out at that point. Kinda decided to take a brain vacation as I was on overload. I should have had my husband go with me, but I didn't. I'm going to call Oncology Nurse and ask her, but do you guys/gals know what tests would then be performed? If these tests were to show precancerous cells, do you happen to know what comes next for me? Like I said, I zoned out and didn't ask the doc.
Thanks for your patience and help. You are all my heros!
