Is it cervical cancer or dysplasia? What grade cervical cancer?

Why would the pregnancy be considered high risk?

((hugs)) I am sorry you have to deal with this, especially when it should be such a joyful time!

i am assuming high risk because of the cancer. I am positive she said cancer, because that's a pretty scary word. I haven't told my hubby yet. I am scared to he will be really sad. I am just going to do some research now. Thanks for responding so quickly. I feel so confused.

what kind of testing did she do to come to the cervical cancer conclusion? And what stage is it? Cervical cancer is very treatable.

.O.M.G.!!! I'm so sorry to hear that hun:cry: did the doctor told you wot's the baby's chance of survival if you continue your pregnancy? And is there any risk on your part? :hugs: just pm me if you need someone to talk to hun...

yep thats wot I thought as well...

Sorry to hear about the bad news...But congrats on your pregnancy...I know the decision making is going to be a rough ride ..But im sure you'll make it through..Just keep your head up and think positive!!!..If you need anyone to talk to im here..And so many others here to help you through the way!!

I would like to thank you so much for all of your support. I am really upset. I don't know how to tell anyone. Its really scary. All I do is cry

how did she test you for cervical cancer? Cervical cancer isn't detectable visually. You need to be tested for it.

like wot I said earlier if you need someone to talk to just pm me and the rest of the girls here would support you. Talk to your husband it would help ease the pain.

Always,

Women get pap smears every year to detect cervical abnormalities. In general, it takes at least a few days for a pap smear to come back. Rarely the pap smear will say 'cancer', but if there are cervical abnormalities you will be sent to have a biopsy done. When you have that biopsy done, it takes another few days to 2 weeks for those results.

What i'm saying is, I am sorry your doctor said the word cancer at all - because it doesn't sound as if you've had any of these tests yet.

It takes a very long time for cervical abnormalities to progress to cancer. How long has it been since your last pap smear?

i agree! It makes me sad that she has put this girl through this. That doctor needs to think a little bit before she just starts throwing out the 'cancer' word.


Eta: sadiedales, none of this was meant in any way to belittle your feelings. I know how scary it is when someone tells you that you have cancer. I want to reassure you that it doesn't sound as if there were any of the usual tests performed and nothing is concrete yet. If it is cervical cancer it is easily dealt with. I am sorry you have to deal with this and pregnancy at the same time. Good luck and pm me if you need someone to talk to.
