I know it's very frightening to first get that diagnosis, and it must have been very hard to get a HSIL diagnosis instead of one lower on the severity scale. Fortunately, most do go away over time and extremely few ever become cancer. I feel a little skeptical when I say that because I was very different personally, but it is very rare for it to become cancer if you get treatment. By now, if you received the normal course of treatment, you probably have had a colpscopy (which I admit is one of the more uncomfortable procedures I've ever received) and know if it's severe enough to warrant a biopsy. But you can relax a bit. In a majority of cases, it goes away on its own even without treatment, and if you do get treatment (the biopsies, cryo, LEEP, etc.) it even is less likely to ever return. Even if you get a subsequent test that comes back abnormal, your chances are great that it will not be a persistant infection and will just go away.
But I know from firsthand experience that these words only slightly reassure such frightening news when you see words such as "cancer" associated with HSIL. It sounds like you have an excellent support system with your husband and even newborn child. That will help immensely.

Good luck!
