atypical cells

[Anais]

I just got a call from my doctor that she found atypical cells in my Pap Smear. She told me it is nothing to worry and that I need to be back in two or three months for check. Anyone is familiar with it? I went for a general check two weeks before only because I was not been checked for 3 years. Otherwise I had no serious complains. I am very much worried now.

Don't be worried. It's not uncommon. I've had several with this result.

Atypical is common in some, just make sure you recheck....that's the most important thing!

Thank you Pocky. I was worried that she told me to be back in two months. I read some sites telling usually you go back in 6 months. I couldn’t find a good website to read about it.

Thank you Tiki.

 

You are still there? Isn't your wedding this Saturday?

 

I never heard about atypical cells before.

I leave out Sunday and get married on Monday...thanks for asking.

 

Atypical = not typical, abnormal.

 

I had a recent colposcopy and 2 biopsies for my dysplasia. I go back in January for a recheck.

I've had a couple of these. Happily they told you 'atypical' not cancerous. The cervix sluffs cells constantly (I think of it as a self-cleaning feature). Chances are you'll go back in 3 months and they'll be normal. Try not to worry but do keep your appointment.

Nothing to worry about -- just follow doctors orders. Here's a site with some info that you may find helpful.

You guys are so great! Thanks a lot. The site was very helpful Hokey.

 

I will try to forget about it for now. Need to get back to work. Sigh

 

PS. If I won’t be around next days: Tiki have a great time. Best of luck!
