My coplscopy is scheduled for next Tuesday. (got the soonest
available). I know i'm not a slut, but all mom knows is HPV is an STD,
and thats all that matters to her. She's basically told me(less than
an hour after doc. called,that I'll probably have to have a
hysterectomy...etc etc. Dont' know if shes just trying to scare me,
or if she's just a hateful b*tch. At this point today i'm scared out
of my wits about next tuesday, and am ready to hunt down my ex-husband
and ex-boyf and shoot them both. My aunt died from complications from
Breast Cancer, but she lived with it for over 10 years. I know its
totally different from Cervical, but I'm not her, or like you guys
obviously are, I'm NOT a strong person. Never have been, even thinking
about this sends me to tears.
