I Am Pregnant With Cervical Cancer. Sadies Update. Posted: 04-05-06 16:07pm
I am early in pregnancy, and have cervical
cancer. I found out both at the same time
today. I don't know what to do.. This
is my first pregnancy, and after all that
time trying.. The doctor said aborton was
an option, or a high risk pregnancy.. I
can't make this choice.. Please help
me.

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.

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

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?

Thats a little
unprofessional.
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.
