"WTF ANG?!"
You ask yourself as you click on this thread, despite your better judgement.
Well, folks, I'm glad I got your attention.
This is probably more than any of you need to know, but, being that I've known some of you longer than most of my real life friends, I've found it necessary to break the news here.
2 weeks ago I got the news that I had an abnormal pap. Now, for us ladies, this isn't always a bad thing, but the nurse that called me insisted that I come in for a closer look. A closer look being that, they needed to spread me open and see wtf was going on up there.
My diagnosis was LSIL, or, low-grade lesions caused by an HPV infection. 2 stages below carcinoma, or, cervical cancer.
On Tuesday, I experienced one of the single worst medical procedures done to my body ever as they took biopsies from all up ins my nether regions, I cramped, I bled, I cried, and I'm still sore today, and probably will be for the rest of the week.
I met with a nurse practitioner and an oncologist for my treatment options. As of right now, from what they saw with the naked eye, I do NOT have cancer, however, the biopsy could suggest otherwise. I will have the results in about 2 weeks.
I'm scared shitless.
I'm unemployed, single, and my life couldn't really suck anymore right now, and then I get hit with the possibility of having cunt rot because some douche I banged decided he didn't want to wrap his tool and loaded me with HPV (granted, this could have been my ex-husband, but whatever. Let me complain!)
So, yeah. Fortunately, we caught it as such an early phase that it's treatable, and it's not going to kill me, but if it comes back more advanced than what the pap showed, I could be in for a year or two of exciting treatments!
So, how's life for everyone else? What's for dinner?
