What made me want to get things check out, was I kept cramping like I was going to start my menstrual, but it would never come. I put off my Pap test for years. I got my tubes tied back years ago, so I thought it was no need. I went to my family doctor and got a Pap smear done. They called me and told me that I need to see a gynecologist, and the test came back abnormal. At that point I knew I messed up. I went to the gynecologist and had three procedures done. They were doing biopsies. The first three came back as no cancer, but my numbers were elevating. I had the leep procedure done at the end of March and went back in 6 weeks on May 16, 2013 for my results. I was told that the doctor needed to go in right away and get everything out, A total hysterectomy. I was numb, felt lost of words because if I had of been getting my Pap test done yearly maybe I would not be going through this situation with
cervical cancer. I had a total hysterectomy on May 23,2013. When I went back for for my check up he told me he think he got all the cancer, but he wanted me to see a specialist. At the same time I'm thinking (Think) the cancer is still there. I was so nervous! I saw the specialist the first week in August and there he told me I need a second surgery, and scheduled it for September 12, 2013. A robot hestorectory and the lining of my wall and remove some of my girl part and lymph-nodes..Wow was I in bad pain! I had two major surgeries within 3 1/2 months apart and when I went back for those results I was told I was cancer free, no chemo and no radiation needed. God is so good! I could not do anything, but thank God and cry! I have to be checked every 3-4 months for 3 years and after that every 6 months. It was all worth it to be cancer free, so ladies please stay up on your Pap smears! It can save your lives! Now I am dealing with lymphedema. This is where I have to be wrapped every day or where compressor stocking be on the machine and have very sharp pains where they took out the lymph-nodes in my stomach and other places. They say it could be scar tissue. Please keep me in your prayers.....God bless..
