So I was fit right in on Wednesday with the GYN Oncologist, who performed and internal exam and another biopsy. Afterwards, my husband and I met with him and he told us that the original biopsy's showed transitional cancer cells as well as squamos cells. So now there is a chance that I acutally have bladder cancer that has spread to the cervix, so there is more waiting. I am still waiting for approval from the insurance company for the CT Scan, then I have to wait for Dr. Chan to get the results, then I have to wait for an appointment..................I AM SICK OF WAITING ON PEOPLE TO MAKE MOVES THAT AFFECT MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so late yesterday afternoon, my doctors office called to say that she wanted me to come in and discuss my biopsy results today. I called a friend who recently had pollups removed by the same doctor and asked her if she had to go in to get the results (they were benign) and she said no, they just left the message on her machine. So now I think the worst and probably for good reason. I have never had to go in and get results. I didnt sleep well last night and my two youngest both have colds, so it is going to be a really rough day. There are so many things going through my minds right now. "why doesnt sloan take my insurance?" "what stage is my cancer?" how will I take care of my children? what will i tell the older ones? and so many more, my mind is just racing.

I am so sorry you have to go thru this. I also was diagnosed with cervical cancer at the age of 33. These are all hard questions to ask yourself, but it is very normal. My sons were 12 and almost 8 at the time. I chose not to tell them what was going on as I didn't have to have chemo. My older son who is now 14 knows, but the younger one doesn't. Please don't panic. Wait to hear your results and find out what type of treatment you may need. i know that it is a hard road, but you will be ok. We will be there for you. If you need anything or just need to talk, please feel free to message me.

Thank you so much. I appreciate your words more than i can say. Now its a waiting game, and I honestly think that is the worst part!
Yes, waiting is the worst. Moving ahead with the diagnosis and treatment puts us a little more in control of what's happening. I use to work in Utilization - stay on their backs; keep calling.
