Hi all!
New to the site, and looking for
support!
I had a pap about 3
weeks ago...During the manual exam, my
family doc. Found, what he thought, was a
fibroid on my uterus...So, he sent, the
next day, for a transvaginal
ultrasound...I was freaking out at this
point...The ultrasound tech. Said the
doc. Would have the results by tues. Of
the following week...The ultrasound was
done on friday...She also said that the
radiologist said everything looked
fine...I called my doc. On wed, cause I
hadn't heard anything...The nurse tells me
he's on vacation for the entire week!!!
What the???!?!
...Let me just say
he's also been treating me for panic and
anxiety for the last 2 years...Anyhoo, I
wait until the next tuesday and call to
ask about something off topic, when the
nurse says,"hang on, he wanted to talk to
you actually." of course, my panic
escalates....He says that the ultrasound
looked good, except for a tiny cyst on my
ovary...But, my pap showed that I have
hpv, and my cervix was quite
irritated...He referred me to a gyno., who
he said would want to do a coloscopy and
biopsy, and maybe another leep surgery!!!
Mind you, when I was 23 I had an abnormal
pap (i'm now 32), which lead to a
colposcopy,biopsy...And eventually a
leep...That doc. Said I had 5 areas of
dysplasia on my cervix...3 of them were
acute....I had both my kids by
c-section...Had my tubes tied 6 years
ago...And have always had dibilitating
periods...Since the tubes have been
tied...My periods have gotten much
worse...I'm at the point now of wanting to
just skip all the diagnostic crap the
gyno. Will want to put me through again,
and just get the hyst.....Let me tell you
also that I don't have insurance, so it's
really a two fold decision....Skip the
"extra" diagnostics, and go straight to
surgery...This will avoid me having to be
put through more painful crap that will
only lead us right back to where we
started...And it will be less
expensive....
Sorry i've blathered on, but I wanted
you to get the full spectrum of what i've
been through....Does it seem crazy for me
to want to go straight to surgery? Please
help!!
