Cervical Cancer @ MindSay



 

   
Little update
  • Biopsy came back all good. Go back in for another pap in October.
  • Moving is going pretty well.
  • I have been feeling rather woozy since yesterday. Slept most of the day today.
  • Ben has the flu or something. Since he got home around 2, he has been puking 5-6 times per hour. I have a feeling there isn't going to be much sleep for either of us tonight.
  • One of Ben's coworker's wives (this guy is probably one of Ben's best friends) kicked him out last night. So as of two this afternoon, there are now three adults here. The only bed right now is the one that Ben and I sleep in and the couch is in super rough shape.
*EDIT @ 7:10 pm* Ben's friend went back home. I guess him and the wifey figured things out...again. I guess she kicks him out on a regular basis. Ben finally asked me to go to the store and get saltines for him (I've offered about ten times or so). It's gonna be a long night on the couch for me.
 
 
   
 

The appointment
Today I had my colposcopy. My God was that painful! The doctor told me that she did not see any abnormalities on the surface of the cervix, but did the biopsy scrapings anyways and she should be calling me by Friday with the results from the biopsy. Told me that I will probably see a bit of discharge for the next couple of days and that if I am continuing to have discharge on Friday to give her a call. Also told me no sex for at least a week, but I don't think that will be too difficult. She kinda compared having sex after this procedure to having a sore on my hand and constantly poking it and rubbing salt in it. What a visual, eh?

I am so glad that I was able to get the full day off of work with this. I was so exhausted after having this done and was in so much pain. It honestly hurt to walk. Ben even commented when he got home that I was walking kinda funny. I tend to be doing good as long as I'm not moving; sitting and laying down are best at the moment. Kinda sucks when Abby decides that she is going to be jumping on me. When I got home from doing my running today, I came back home and slept for about two hours. As I'm typing this, I am starting to feel exhausted again.
 
 
 

   
Here I am spitting in the mirror

... because it's all that I know how to do....

 

The surgery date has been set:

 

October 2, 2007 at 11:15am, check in time is 10:15am.

 

It's not as soon as I hoped for - but it's better than nothing.

 
 
   
 

I wish I could eat your cancer.....

.... when you turn back....

 

I have HPV.

I have ALL the HIGH RISK strains of cancer-causing HPV.

I have a lesion on my cervix slightly larger than a dime.

I have a lesion that has pre-cancerous and cancer cells.

I have cervical cancer.

I'm having surgery to remove the lesion and surrounding area.

I have a wonderful prognosis.

But I still have cancer. :(

 

 

I know I haven't updated in a long time - there is a reason. When I have time I will elaborate.

 
 
 

   
It's finished!!!
It's finished, finally.  My abused women's website is done!  And I'm extremely proud of it and it's gotten quite a bit of good feedback too!
