Does family history of cancer make it worse?

Post a new topicby Hem on Mon Mar 10, 2008 2:26 pm


Just found out today that I have mild dysplasia...didn't think to ask my doctor if a family history of cancer (all women) gives you a greater chance of it turning into cervical cancer faster...

I have to go for another colposcopy and biopsy in six months...everyone I talk to says not to worry about it but I can't help it...

My boyfriend feels bad because he likely passed on HPV to me as he is my only sexual partner...his ex-wife had cervical cancer and had a complete hysterectomy (sp)...

It's bloody well scary no matter how bad it is...just knowing what it could develop into...
