Hello,
im actually writing on behalf of my gfriend who just had a colscopy today.
Its been an incredibly long ordeal dealing with the clinic and it literally took a year for them to finally do a proper test. She could only get appointments 3 months apart. Every appointment they would say there were some abnormalities but nothing to worry about if it persisted theyd do more tests.. A year later... One of the doctors finally does the test and says he sees something under the microscope and took a sample. Not once during this year did they tell my gf she was hpv positive so when the doctor mentioned it my gf was shocked. Even the nurse commented " no one ever told you?"
as she was getting dressed my gf asked the same nurse what was going on. She stated that the doctor saw a little something underthe scope and took a sample and seems like it could be stage 2 cervical cancer. Mind you no one ever did more than a pap within the last year!
Needless to say my gf is freaking out cause they told her she cant get the results for another 3 weeks!
Now ive read that it takes a while to go through the stage but I havent seen any actual documentation... How long do the stages take? Since it was a nurse just talking off the cuff and without any results she wasnt really sure if it even is cancer or stage 2 a or b?
How long does it take to get to stage 2? Im sick to death about the possible cancer and the fact that she has and most likely I have hpv is completely taking a back seat but even more so is im feeling a lot of guilt about me possibly being the reason she has hpv.. How long does it take hpv to turn into stage 2? Ive been with her a little over a year. And the abnormal came in 6 months into our relationship. She claims she was a virgin before me only having had one none intercourse encounter proir to me. Im already beating myself with guilt that its all my fault but some people have mentioned that to get to that stage she may have had it long before knowing me.............And that im not at fault.... Not that it really matters. I just want her to get difinative results and get better what ever the case is. As you can tell im being torn in many directions from worry about her health to guilt about me being the cause.
Can someone shed a little light? What are survival rates for stage 2 a or b? What can I do besides be there for her???
