I am 22 and I just recently got a call from the doc saying that my pap was abnormal and I needed to come back and repeat it in 6 months.I wasn't realy worried bacause she did say come back in 6 months not something that I need to come back and do now but I remembered going to a diffrent doctor when I was 18 and and getting a couple of bad paps and they refered me to a bigger place (this was only a health department because I didn't have insurence)and I just never went. I guess I was young and didn't have insurence and just didn't think much of it.I have had a pap smear every year since then just at a diffrent place and it has been normal every time until this last one. I have even had a baby and everything has been ok.Could someone please help me out I am scared and I haven't told my new doc about the bad paps in the past. Do you think that if something is wrong with me that it has been wrong with me since I was 18 or since I have had normal ones since then that this is probley something diffrent or should I not even worry because I have had normal ones for a while?Please reply someone I have to wait another 6 months and what if I have had cancer since I was 18?Could I have had cancer and had a baby and no one known it ? I don't have any symtoms.
