Hi again, yeah it is amazing how quickly it all goes, its good because the waiting around thing is a killer but at the same time it makes it hard to sort of take anything in because it is all sort of go, go ,go. Would definately rather that than sitting around waiting, wondering and worrying though!
I do have a great support around me too, family and friends but your right, their support is all well and good but they cant possibly understand what this is like because it isnt happening to them and you really dont know how you would react until you are in this situation.
I also worry about overwhelming and over burdoning my friends and family. I have a had a few crying fits and stuff but I feel like I am holding off on dealing with the emotional side of all of this because I dont want to burdon them as much as I dont think I am ready to deal with the emotion yet if that makes sense, it's all about the facts and being practical for me so far.
Sorry to hear about your daughters result. My situation is quite unique apparently. I have been getting my pap smears every 2 years since I was 18 and I have never had abnormal cells. Generally when people get abnormal cells its refered to as CIN I, II or III. This simply means there is evidence of pre-cancerous cells. This is extrememly common, heaps of people have this and its usually as simple of getting them scrapped off and then maybe getting your pap smears a little more often so they can keep an eye on them. Cervical Cancer usually takes 10-15 years to develop, thats why there is not a lot of us out there because regualar pap smears usually catch the abnormal cells before the little buggers have the chance to become cancers. Thats where my case is unique. Mine grew in the 2 years since my last pap smear. But like I said this is an extremely rare thing, I am sure your daughter will be fine though, they've gotten on to it quick smart so hopefully it is just a simple thing for her.
Please do let me know how she goes though, and if she has any worries or questions I will help if I can. Thanks so much again for taking the time to respond, really appreciate your insight and kindness.
Take care Trace.
