Prayers and good thoughts, please

I got a diagnosis of cervical cancer on Friday and I'm off to the oncologist tomorrow. Don't know much yet except it's not the relatively-easy-treat-stage-0-squamous-cell kind.

(Dear friend needs some good thoughts, too--he was laid off on short notice today, a victim of the state budget downsizing.)

Ladies, don't forget that yearly unpleasantness with the GYN folks. It can be a lifesaver!

Monique,

I have to ask....have the done the other two tests (not just the pap)? I was also given this diagnosis, and then they referred me for one test, which confirmed it, and led to the second test, which was a LEEP conectomy. That test refuted the cervical cancer diagnosis and found only that I had abnormal cell growth.

Please, please ask about these tests if you haven't already had one. If you want more information about either of them, feel free to email me privately.

Oh, Monique, prayers and hugs are coming your way.

Please stay on top of this, get a second opinion even a third. Find out as much as you can....remember knowledge is POWER even with an illness...as you are the one who is ultimately is in charge of your own treatment. Best of luck to you.

Wishing you a complete recovery, and hoping they've caught it early enough.

Here in Oz (NSW at least) they have a register if you choose to be on it, which sends out reminder notices when you're due for your next test. Saves you having to remember when your due for one!

My father was also diagnosed with lung cancer, when my sisters and I were babies (me 15 mos.. and the twins less than a month old.) They hospitalized my dad at the Vet's hospital and he sat there waiting to get sicker and to die, while my mother would come to visit him with the three of us. After about 6 weeks he decided that he was that sick and checked himself out of the hospital to get a second opinion.

He didn't have lung cancer; the x-ray was smudged!

The moral, always get confirmation if the diagnosis is serious.

In Vic you don't get a choice, you automatically go on the list and get a reminder if you are 3 months late for the next check up
