I am having the process done tomorrow

Ive had 3 laser surgeries. Two when originally diagnosed 5 years ago. They were successful. I had two blood cell growths the lasers stopped the leak and left two small blind spots that I quickly got used to. I got the 3rd one 4 months ago. The original cells began leaking again. The laser sealed them and although I had larger blind spots as a result which were tougher to get used to I felt a vast improvement between 4 to 6 weeks after the laser.

In 1990, I went in for a surgery to clean up my endo. The Dr. said it would take about 30 min. 5 1/2 hours later, the doc cleaned endo off most of my organs and removed all he could find.

Worked for a while but the endo came back worse than before!

Had the LEEP in Dec 2007, had follow up in July and had a normal pap! But HPV test still positive. Haven't had to go back again yet since July.
My cancer was too far advanced for the treatment to be much success.
