cervical cancer survivor

I am a cervical cancer survivor and had a radical hysterectomy 16 years ago. This month I had some abnormal vaginal bleeding and my pap just came back abnormal with uterine cells in it. How can this be when I don't have a uterus? I am terrified after all this time that the cancer is back. The doc is referring me to a gyn for a closer look, but in the meantime, my mind is driving me insane.

    I too am a 16 yr cervical
    I too am a 16 yr cervical survivor who has recently found out I have malignant cancer cells in my ovaries. Still confused as to how I even have ovaries since we were told that the radiation would kill them out. Seeing my gyno Monday for some answers. Hope all turns out well for you.
