I went 10 years without a pap test.. finally went to get one and it came back bad, now I have to get a biopsy..
I have a family history just ridden with female cancers, every woman in my family by the age of 45 has had it..
do I have cancer? did I wait to long for my pap? has it spread? Its almost as if "I know" i have it... how many of you that have had it just "knew" they had it?

" Try not to jump ahead, Deb. You'll know soon enough what you're dealing with. Remember, there are many cervical abnormalities that can be treated and totally cured. Some are pre-cancerous and not invasive. I hope that this scare will be a reminder to keep up with your Pap smears and examinations - so very important to prevent what you're worrying about. I wish you the very best and hope that you'll let us know here on Daily Strength the outcome. God bless. "
