Wow, that truly sucks. Going through something like that can be incredibly stressful. I have gone through something similar (though not cancer) and the not knowing almost drove me crazy. Even if my results were positive, I just wanted to know so I could start to deal with it. I hope your biopsy comes back okay!! Stay strong!

your positive, pro-active game plan is really impressive. i wish you the best!

Not sure if you knew this but Toxic just went through the same thing, you should chat with her! Looking pretty good that I will be in Portland, so can't wait to meet up with you!!!

For some reason, it never clicked in my head that you were WALKING across the country. Too many road trips on the brain.

It appears you're in the right state of mind to tackle this crap head-on. And we're with you.

I'm sorry to hear about the bad news but glad you got a positive attitude and you WILL kick cancer in the ass and beat it!

Good luck sweetie, your attitude is amazing.

ps that skunk is uber cute xxx x

Pre-cancerous cells does not mean you have cervical cancer sweetie.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

It's called dysplasia. I've had it before...twice. It just means you have abnormal cell changes that could turn into cancer. Both times my biopsy came up negative, but the 2nd time they went ahead and did a procedure called Loop Electrosurgical Excision or LEEP. It is an outpatient procedure where they go in w/an electro loop and swipe off the abnormal cells. You'll stay in about an hour after the procedure and then go home. The pain is not real bad...just feels like cramps of a really bad period, and you'll bleed for a while after. After that you'll be fine.

P.S. It scared me the first time mine came up abnormal, too, because I thought they were telling me I had cancer also.

Don't worry sweetie...you'll be fine!

Keep that positive attitude sweetie.
Hope Cyanyde is right!
Take care of yourself Lyxzen.

Damn, I wish nothing but the best for you

just keep on trudging through

we'll be here for you

I just stumbled upon this journal entry from the front page. The pictures are beautiful and your words have got the jab-straight-hook-cross KO punch to them. Excellent mental strength. I'm also hoping Cyanide is right, but I realize that you're on a scary road that any of us could find ourselves on. Here's a total stranger thinking positive thoughts for you. Muy muy !

Like Tupac said, 'Keep yo' head up.'
If you were a chatter I'd offer my internet ear if you needed someone to talk to.
Thanks to this entry, I also want a pet skunk, but only if it stays cute and tiny like that one.
