So today I had my cervical biopsy. I'm starting a thread to keep everyone updated, and I was hoping if it didn't bother anyone to use as a kind of diary, or place to vent. I've grown to really care about a lot of you here, and have gotten a ton of support. I'm actually starting this thread before I have even called my mother. LOL Besides Master, bunny and Mister Sir were the first to know. So I hope it's welcome.
Ok my results. She found two spots today that are really advanced. In the last month and a half the dysplasia has progressed a lot. She said it doesn't even look like the same cervix. So instead of cutting one chunk out of me today, she had to take two.
It sucked ass. They put a vinegar solution over the cervix before they do the biopsy so I currently feel like I've had a flaming torch shoved up my cunt.
I will not have official results for three weeks. However she's done enough of these procedures that she feels comfortable giving an initial diagnosis.
She diagnosed the two spots that are advanced as cancer. Now they are most likely still in situ. Which means like a tumor that hasn't spread. So if I'm lucky it will remain that way until they can get off of their asses to take care of it. It's scary to me though because of how far it's progressed so quickly. She will absolutely do nothing for three weeks. I have no insurance and go to a clinic. I'm private pay, so things don't get done quickly. I have no way to change that at the present.
The next step could be one of a few things. Cutting out the cancerous parts, chemo, or removal of the cervix and possibly uterus. Won't know that for a few weeks.
I have decided also not to see the lady who performed the procedure today, again. So that may mean more waiting to see the chick I like. But I need that for my sanity.
See here's the thing. I've been ashamed to talk about this, and I shouldn't be so here goes.
My cancer is caused by a HPV infection. It's officially considered a STD. However about 93% of people have had it in their lifetime. Men can't even be tested, so it's assumed if you've has sex you've had it. Most women fight it off within the first year or two and it never causes problems. For some reason my body has not fought it off. I have a bad immune system. The longer you have the virus in your body, the longer it will cause complications, and cancer. For some unknown reason we cannot get my body to fight it off. As long as it's there, it will cause complications.
There are two types of HPV one causes genital warts and is fairly harmless. I don't have that type. So no warts here. woo hoo..LOL. I have high risk HPV which is what causes cancer.
Anyway I asked the Dr. if I was at higher risk for anal cancer too. As HPV is linked to 90% of cervical and anal cancers. She says well only if you're having anal sex. Umm..Ok yeah and I have been for years. She yells a me! Tells me that anal cancer kills and that I shouldn't be having anal sex, no one should.
That was enough to piss me off. If anal sex makes me some kind of freak to her, I'd hate to know if she really knew anything about me. So for my sanity I'm waiting until I can see the lady I like.
Plus she was talking about how bad my cervix had gotten to the nurse like I wasn't even there. I'm a person! I'm also a nurse! I'm not dumb, talk to me bitch!
So this is what I have so far. I appreciate all the well wishes and support I've gotten thus far. I love you guys!
