Jenn,
Carcinoma in situ means that the cancer is still in the same
place that it originated (it hasnt spread). Do you remember them
saying anything about margins... and that they were clear? Im
assuming you had a LEEP or a cone done already. These two procedures
can be both a diagnosis and a "cure". (not that it cant recur, but
that the cancerous tissue has been removed). It is possible that
they've already removed the probelm tissue and have scheduled you for
a colposcopy (looking inside with a microscope) to check for any
traces theyve missed. A word to the wise: if you're lucky enough to
be able to predict your periods, make sure you dont schedule testing
days when you may be bleeding, so that you dont wind up getting
rescheduled. We all know how long it takes to get a gyn appt. UUGH!
Wendy
PS: im waiting right along with you... i had a LEEP in august, just
had a cone and am waiting for the results of that to find out which
type of hysterectomy i will be having, and when ill be having it.
Waiting sucks.
