My doctor removed some suspicious tissue from my cevix but didn't get it all. So I had to have surgery. It was later reported to be HPV. I have not tested positive for HPV since then.

I had a Biopsy done Nov 07, It was to determine how far along it was (turned out to be moderate). Will be having another one done in May 08 (3 weeks)

I had an abnormal pap smear in Feb 2005. The cells went from pre-dysplasia to high-grade dysplasia in three months. I was scared!!! I know cervical cancer is very treatable and I didn't have cancer yet. However the rapid cell growth scared me. My doctor performed a LEEP procedure on me in May 2005. My pap smears have been normal since - even with the extra test that makes pap smears more sensitive.

Diagnosed that I had precancerous cells, which led to a cervical biopsy and uterin biopsy. With resulted in me finding out that I am in stage one.
