More bad news... Not only do I get told about the HSV-2 on the 21st... but the doctor failed to tell me that I have HPV also and that my pap smear showed abnormal cervical cells. Further testing to see if they're pre-cancerous or cancer. This sucks. More stressed out now.

Found out because I made another appt to get more informed about the big H and the nurse said did your doctor discuss your pap?? Im like yeah she said it was fine. The nurse says... Ummm no its abnormal. Way to really drop the freaking ball Doc!

    Monie-- I'm dealing with the HPV issue as well.  The good news is how easy it is to treat, to prevent any cells from developing into cervical cancer.  One article mentioned that Cervical cancer USED to be the #1 cancer killer of women, but with annual PAP smears, there's early detection, which makes it curable.  

    Did your doctor tell you the HPV generally clears on it's own within two years?   

    I hope all is going well for you.
