Hi Dana,
I'm Gail. All my paps were normal until dec '07. No one can explain why everything was normal then bam. "You have invasive cervical cancer" I was in total shock. I was diagnosed with stage 1b1 back in Jan. '08. I was supposed to have a radical hysterectomy but they left 1 ovary. So I guess it was a partial. Then in surgery they messed up my femoral nerve, which led me to not being able to drive for 3 months or walk that well. Anyways, everything turned out a-ok (knock on wood). And I can drive again.

Hi, I am new to this group. I was diagnosed with stage 2b cervical
cancer after a history of routine normal pap smears. I would like to
talk with anyone else who has experienced a cancer diagnosis after a
history of normal pap smears.
Thanks and God bless,
Dana in Austin
