Hi Deanne,
Totally understand the anxiety & worry.
Just after my husband & I decided to start a family (16yrs ago!) & following a routine PAP smear by my GP, I was diagnosed with abnormal cells & was referred to a male Gynecologist.
He was absolutely horrible - was really rough doing the core biopsy & didn't make it clear I was to call for results.
So after 6 weeks of not hearing back I assumed all was good. But then he phoned & demanded to know why I hadn't followed up & angrily announced I needed to come in immediately to fill in forms for a hospital admission to be treated for CIN 3 (high grade pre-cancerous cells in the cervix). The next day I went to my GP & asked for a referral to have someone else do the procedure!
Glad to hear you're seeing a female gynecologist whose is treating you with care, dignity & respect.
Thinking of you & all the best with your treatment & follow ups :)
