3 yrs but the doctor called

So I went in for my 3 yr check-up last Friday and since I had uterine cancer (IIIc) – my GYNonc did an internal exam and pap. I have never had a problem before. Always negative and no issues. Now I don’t even have a cervix. Well, she called me today with the news that I have HPV! What! I am 57 yrs old – have been married for 25 yrs and this is a shock. Now with my type of cancer – it usually comes back in the vaginal cuff, so any atypical cells here are a red flag.

My doctor is having a baby in 2 days – so she just dropped the news and said she’d see me in 6 months. No scan. Nothing.

She said maybe a colposcopy next time.

I had a 50% chance to make it 2 yrs. I have made it 3. Now what?

What do I do for 6 months?

I think you should get the colposcopy done by another dr. I am sorry you have to go through this, but don’t wait. Jenny

I agree with Jenner. Better to be safe than sorry. Please get to another doctor asap. Keep us posted, I hope everything is ok. I had the same cancer, stage 2B grade 3. I’m going for a follow up on Friday and I have every finger crossed,even me toes! Good luck.

Celtic Climb

In celebration of my 2 years still alive and a clean PET/CT, with a St. Patrick’s Day theme, I did a 5 mile climb to the top of Rocky Peak! I started at 7 am and it took 2 hrs. But I feel great. And 805 Bootcamp gave out green dog tags with “5 Mile FINISHER” and a lucky coin that we got to make a wish on and put in a “pot of gold.”

On to a healthy rest of my life—no sugar and lots of exercise.

Hi Jane,

I’m glad you are free of cancer. I too stopped eating sugar after being diagnosed with cancer. Exercising is so important and good.

Hi Jane Happy Birthday.

Hi jane – your blog was the one I read first (cover to cover). How are you doing?
