Please don't get too crazy until you've had some additional tests done. Ask your friends or just mention it when you're getting your hair done or at church, and you will find half the women have had an abnormal PAP test in their lives. So take some comfort in that. It's probably nothing.

That being said, DON'T let your gynecologist take a 'wait and see' attitude that she'll re-test you in 3 months or 6 months or something. Ask for another PAP, a sonogram, and an endometrial biopsy. If you've had any OTHER symptoms (abnormal bleeding, watery discharge, bloating of the abdomen, pelvic pain, change in bowels) disclose those symptoms and ask for a D&C to get a definitive answer if anything is going on. My cancer had no symptoms but was caught in a routine annual PAP. Had I not had that PAP, and had we taken the "let's wait 6 months and test this again", I may not be here.

So don't ignore the results. But also know that most likely it is nothing. Just find out for sure with further diagnostic tests. ((((BIG HUG)))))

Thank You both so much! I'll try not to freak out. And I'll take your response with me so I know what procedures to ask for. Hopefully I won't have to come back to this site again! (no offence). Thanks again!
