I have a friend who has had 4 abnormal pap smears in the last year and a half. The results were not cancerous - but show abnormal cell growth. She also had a leep test done with unsatisfactory results. She is post-menopausal and a smoker. She would like to have a hysterectomy done so there won't be any chance of it turning into cancer later,which would probably require surgery,chemo,and/or radiation. Her doctor agreed to do the hysterectomy,but her insurance company won't approve it. Has anyone had or know of a similar situation???

Thanks!!!
