Cervical Dysplasia

[pokesfan72]

Hi,
I have recently joined this forum and am learning a lot about some recent events.
My girlfriend has recently had surgery to remove some dysplasia. I went with her to the surgery and being the "responsible party" for her, the doctor came out to the waiting room, took me back into another room and talked with me. Being that I am new to all of this, I was unsure what to ask, but he gave me good information. He did say that from her appointment, less than a week prior to surgery, the dysplasia had spread from one spot to all over the interior and he was concerned. He said that the surgery will help, but he fears it will come back and he will use a laser treatment.
A little history on my girlfriend. She is 39, and at the age of 26, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer She battled the cancer for about 8 years, when at that time, she was given the green light and was told she was cancer free. This was a really heavy conversation we had after our second date, about three months ago.
So, I have the following questions:
-Has anyone ever had this type of experience? If so, what was the outcome, what should we expect?
-As I am reading information about cervical dysplasia I keep seeing that HPV is related. We are very sexually active. Before we had sex, we had "the talk" and we are both "clean". But, is there a fear of her, and potentially I, having HPV? We do not have any of the symptoms that are listed. Can this be detected via a blood test, or is it purely visual?
-Will she make it?

I am very concerned that something major is going on as he doctor said he is concerned about how quickly the spots spread in less than a week.
Our relationship has moved to the "next level" recently and we are more involved than we were previously. I do care for her very much and in order to ease my mind and to help her, I am trying to get all of the information I can.

Thank you for your replies!

hi!
i am very sorry about your gf and waht she has been through.i rekon it must be very diffucult for the both of you. so ,the HPV is human papiloma virus, there are many strains of this virus but ¨only¨ 15 or so are cervical cancer related. the ideea is for the virus to produce a hight grade of dyspazia ,the body must be weak and with a poor imune system,otherwise can cure itself.however, there are testes like HPV typing, a test make from vaginal secretion.But,the virs is untrateble,what we treat is the efect- the lesion,dyspasia. so,since she had surgery i guess the dr took byopsy somple,and so the best thing to do is wait for the results.
best of luck and health

From a woman's viewpoint, I certainly can see what you are going through. I recently had a pap come back abnormal and they are saying cervical dysplasia. I go for biopsy results later today and boy, am I nervous. I have come home from every appointment so far and spent hours searching for everything I could find about what was said at the appointment to better educate myself. Your gf should be very proud that she has a bf that is willing to stand by her side and educate himself. To me, the worst part in all this is the waiting and not knowing what is going on. I am sure that if the doctor is very concerned, he will put a "rush" on the test results to be able to get them as soon as possible. In the meantime, while you are waiting, I think the best thing you can do is to continue to educate yourself, call the doctor with questions if necessary, and take her in your arms, give her a big hug and let her know that you there for her. I highly applaude your efforts to educate yourself and wish you and your gf the best of luck.
