My feelings are the same! The initial diagnosis was so scary, but it's all worked out for me too. My colposcopies were all uneventful and I'm sure I had more...
Well, I went for my colposcopy and biopsies yesterday. That had to be one of the most painful things i've ever had to go through. It was only supposed to take...
Hi Bianca, My prayers are with you and I hope it turns out to be an easy to treat cancer. My sister has cervical cancer and since she's been diagnosed...I've...
I have no idea why they didn't do a hysterectomy, it seemd strange to me too. I guess they figured that with all the internal and external radiation and chemo ...
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,...

Hi everyone! Well, last night I got the bad news; I have cervical cancer. It's in situ, which is as far as I can tell better than some alternatives. They've...
