I wish my Mom was here.... I usually don't tell sad stories about myself but I need some virtual shoulders to cry on since I live in NC and my Mom is in NJ. Basically 6 months ago I was required to have a biopsy...it came back with a mild case of dysplasia so two weeks ago I had to have a follow-up appointment with my doctor. She called today and now I have to get another biopsy. She said my results are "basically the same" but a little worse so they would like to do another biopsy for precautionary purposes. Now I'm only 28, and don't have any children. If it comes down to either me having a choice of never having children or having cancer I'll pick never having children. Again I'm sorry for sharing but I just need to vent my sadness and frustrations about my health to strangers. For some reason typing this is almost comforting.:cry:
Thoughts and prayers are with you. You health is the most important decision at this time. Adoption is a option later. You can have children. Adoptive parents are special!
I'm sorry about how you feel. I think it would be a good idea that either one of you can visit each other and help you out with your health situation. It's not easy being alone facing the unexpected situation. Your mom can ease you through difficult time. She'll keep your mind off things. I'll be praying for you and for your strength.
I don't know all about your situation and I am not a doctor. But I had mild dysplasia once and they did a biopsy. I was told, though, that dysplasia doesn't mean you have cancer or will have cancer, only that there is a chance you could develop it at some point. Furthermore, there are degrees of dysplasia-mild, medium, and severe. I wouldn't think you would have to worry too much unless it is at least severe. Nobody told me all that at first, though, they just talked about pre-cancerous cells. I hope that might put your mind at ease a little. I know you are in all our thoughts and I hope that helps, too.
Aww, I feel so sorry for you. I forget how lucky I am to have my mom in the same area. It's comforting to know that she's only a phone call away. I could give you her number if you'd like. She's a good listener. :lol: Seriously, sending happy thoughts and prayers your way.
I know how you feel. My mom is in Kentucky and there have been times that I wanted her here and she could not be. When I get really down about things I call her up and tell her I need a "mommy hug". She has me close my eyes and imagine that her arms are around me and she gives me a hug long distance. Not as good as the real hug, but it sure does help. I am not yourm mom, but sending hugs your way. :grouphug:
I absolutely could have typed that myself. Exact same thing happened to me. Try not to get all worked up. My Dr told me that cervical cancer is almost never fatal even if it does develop because tests like you've had catch it waaaay before it would get to that point. It's going to be okay, just remember to breathe.
I am older than you but had the exact same thing. I opted for a full hysterectomy and do not regret it. My mother was not close either but I leaned on friends. By the way........I adopted the most wonderful child when she was a baby and have no regrets. Okay, I regret it when she doesn't pick up or smarts off....trying to get you to laugh! :lol::lol: Take care of yourself, Sherry
:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: never had any daughters, just sons, but my Mama heart goes out to you.
:grouphug: I am pretty sure my niece had this situation a few years ago, and she just had a baby. Hopefully it won't turn out to be as serious as you fear. But I still know what you mean about wanting your mama! :grouphug:
Similar situation here...hysto and adopted 2 wonderful children. One adopted at birth, another at 18 months. If anyone wants info on adoption, please pm me. I have some contact information a friend recently shared with me about adopting in the US.
A quick note... Wow, talk about overwhelming. When I first left that post I thought people would think I was crazy for getting so personal and now maybe I am crazy for posting it but you guys are amazing. Thank you so much for all the PMs and all of the replies. This has truly made me feel like there are other people out there that know what I'm going through. I'm sure I'm making a mountain out of a molehill. Hopefully all goes well and I can stop worrying!! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. Now back to about 20 hours of homework!!! Where's the wine when you need it??!! :lol: Take care all, and if there is anything I can do for each of you please let me know!!
Yeah there is something you can do, stand up dust yourself off get back on that horse and ride... :cheers:
It is a small world. I can be PMd also in regards to overseas adoptions. I have even had people from Washington and Oregon contact me and I always try to help. Sherry
THIS was me when i was 18......had 3 procedures before they got everything. have had NO problems since and 2 perfect pregnancies. it is easy to get worked up when you hear certain words, but dont let it get to you all will be ok!!! i still lived at home when i found out and like you was very upset.....i sat right in my mom's lap and cried. i wish she were closer to me too.....she lives in KY and i miss her so much!! :cry: smile honey....sending hugs and luv your way!
