Abnormal Pap test
A month or so after i was diagnosed with BC I had a Abnormal Pap test come back. I have had several biopsies done as the gyneo found three white lesions two on the cervix and one on the uterus. H...
Hi Tonya, i am really naughty too like you as that was my first pap in, i dont know ,about 12-15 years or so. I hated having to have them, so i didn't. Even after my neighbor died of cervical cancer i still didn't have one. I only had one due to being diagnosed with BC. My daughter dragged me along. I was scared when first told of lesions, but once the gyneo looked and said he didn't think they were growing like cancer i was ok with waiting for a biopsy and results. There is not one part of my body that is sacred now , i am so over cancer!
It was this gyneo that i am seeing that said using tamoxifen will make you 5 times more likely. I don't know if he is right or not as the Internet sites all say different. Tonya have a read of this site that explains about Tamoxifen http://www.all-natural.com/tamox.html
I am just over the side effects. I am still so lethargic (not sure if tamoxifen is to blame) and sick of the hot flushes despite the small benefit of using gabapentin.
Just heard on TV "Today" morning show that there has been a breakthrough with using two drugs to shrink the breast tumor and sometime totally eliminate the breast cancer from the body. This might eventually be used instead of chemo. I Can imagine the side effects!!!!!
Cheers Jo xx
Ps: Tonya you do need to book in for a pap this week.
