I knew I needed to be going, but I kept putting it off. Pap came back bad, had biopsy done, I'm in the last stages, (Hi-grade-severe dysplasia) before it turns into cervical cancer...whew..I cut it close. I'm going to have the LEEP procedure done next Monday.
So, this really does disgust me!!
Ladies, please get your annual checkups!

I'll be right behind you in line! I have a history of bad paps as well.
The statistics for HPV are astounding. I can't remember exactly what they are, but I think it's close to 80% of sexually active people will contract HPV. Many who have it don't even realize it. And it's the primary cause of cervical cancer. Anything that can prevent it is a good thing. This is just so assinine.
What really frosts my ass is that Bush is putting these neo-cons in jobs that have a direct effect on people's health, and letting them decide what medical treatments I and my family are entitled to.
