Worried with ?'s

Post a new topicby tcaswell on Sat Mar 08, 2008 12:22 am


So here's my story.... I am 27 yrs. old w/ three children & a wonderful hubby. I just had my yearly pap smear about a month ago (last yrs. was normal) and it came back abnormal w/high grade cells. So they did a colposcopy... came back CIN 3.... so I was scheduled for a cone biopsy last week. And now my results have come back CIN 3, & Adenocarcinoma of the cervix (in situ). I am so confused! My gyno has reffered me to a gyno oncologist but they can't get me in for 2 weeks (he's on vacation, UGH!) So now my hubby & I are worried, w/ so many unanswered questions... My gyno said that I have a glandular cancer, so I asked her if that meant it could be elsewhere in other glands? -She wasn't sure. I asked her if because my pathology said "in situ" did that mean they got it all with the cone biopsy? -She didn't know.... I asked her about my margins coming back clear, did THAT mean they got it all? -and AGAIN she didn't know.... I can't sleep/ or eat. I'm worried out of my mind! I just want to get in and have my questions answered! Does anybody else have this cancer? If my margins were clear & it was in situ, could there be other cancer further up into my canal since there are more glands up in that area? I am trying to be strong for my family, and I keep telling myself I need to be positive.... but it's so hard with a house full of kiddos, kwim? They are my life & I can't imagine them w/out me, their mommy :(
