RE: [Cervical-Cancer] Re: New member....

Bianca,
I am sorry to hear that your biopsy was such a difficult experience. I had
2 bad experiences myself, one of which included a lot of snipping.
Tell me, when they took biopsies, did they do endocervical biopsies too? I
remember that being painful, it is when they biopsy the inside of your
cervical canal.

Hopefully everything will work out and you'll only have to do the leep
procedure. I didn't do the leep, because I had a cone biopsy instead. I
have heard good things about the leap though. (I don't remember how to
spell leap).

I am on vacation, so I might not be in touch. You are in my thoughts
though.
Take care,
Lj

I would say that you probably do have time to pursue your fertility if you want children. Don't panic and rush into a decision that you can't change later. ...
