Abnormal Pap with High risk of Cervical Cancer
Hi everyone. I'm 25 years old and may have cerival cancer. I went to my doctor on Wednesday to get the results of my pap. I knew something was up because she usually tells me over the phone.

question regarding staging

Hello
I am new to the forum, and have mostly just read others post about their treatments and how they cope with the various forms of cancer they have.

Just DX'd with severe squamous dysplasia/carcinoma in-situ (VAIN III/CIS)
After 17 years clear of cervical cancer, I had a more than abnormal PAP (PAPS were always abnormal because of the radiation). Colposcopy result with VAIN III/CIS on right apex vagina. Because I had so much radiation (internal and external) with the cervical cancer that option for treatment is off the table. Surgery is the…
