Well several more months went by because I got underway again. They got the same results. After that, PAPs every six months without fail. The procedure sounds a whole lot worse than it really was. After the procedure the Navy doctor, another woman, told me that I made the right decision to have this done, and she wished more women would do it.
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers there is.
Often it shows up very, very early, like in your case, and we can treat it long before it ever posses a threat. Most women keep putting off their PAPs and once they do go in, often it's too late. February 2000, and my next one is in two weeks, a week shy of six months. I don't avoid them now, and look at them in a new light. You see, I've watch my mom go through cancer, and it's not fun to say the least.
