Im so mad

My doctor called my dh and told him to reschedule another appointment, well I tried to call and reschedule but couldn't get ahold of anyone and when I did, they said the nurse would call me back. Finally my doctor called my dh and told him he scheduled me an appointment with an OBGYN and to go Dec 5th (today). Well I got there thinking my doctor is probably going on vacation and referred me to her. NO. Charity went with me to watch Mckaylee in the waiting room. I finally get called in. The doctor comes in and informs me that my pap results indicated cancer. She explained what might have caused it to look this way...displacia..etc....basically the same stuff Jen was told. Then she informs me that the Biobsy will tell....WTF...BIOBSY? AS IN CUTTING SOMETHING OUT? Im here for a pap. WRONG...They are cutting something out. She explained that she would be performing a regular pap, but also putting different solutions of stuff in me to see how my uterus reacted. Then she told me what the biopsy consisted of and she said that the first thing is to scrap the cells off and the second they snip a piece of the uterus off and send it to the lab. I asked if it was going to hurt and she said yes. She said it feels like a bad menstral cramp and the actual snip part feels like a big pinch. But she said it depends on your pain tolerance and after you will feel crampy and might spot some blood. Well I lay down to get this over with and I started bawling. All I could think was having cancer and my 7 month old is waiting for me in the waiting room. Plus that snip was petrafying. I brased myself for both. The first part did feel kind of crampy...but Ive had worse ovulation cramps. The second that was supose to be worse I didn't feel at all....So overall it was fine. She told me that I don't have cancer, but shes pretty sure I have the pre cancer cells, but they can get rid of them by doing another treatment similar to the one I just did with the scraping, but they put you under anastesia. I don't care what they do if Im asleep. The doctor noticed me crying and asked if I was told anything and I told her that I just thought my doc was on vacation and she felt really bad, she said I should have gotten a pamphlet of information on what they were going to do in the mail. Im just so mad that my doctors nurse let me go there without sending me the information or at least calling me to prepare me.

I'm so glad its not cancer

MommyToAshley replied: Oh my! I would be furious too!!!! Be sure to give your Doc a piece of your mind the next time you see him! How unprofessional of him!

On the up side, I am so glad that it was not cancer. And that they can get rid of the pre-cancerous cells. Good for you for getting your paps on time!

mummy2girls replied: Oh my How horrible. I am glad that it isnt cancer...let us know if anything else happens...BIG (((HUG)))

mckayleesmom replied: My doctor is really awsome,,,his nurse was suppose to send me the info and she didn't...she did that to my pregnant friend also and he chewed her out about it a while back.

My2Carebears replied: omg how scary! I am so sorry you had to go thru all that. I will keep you in my prayers!

CantWait replied: I'm so so sorry that you had to go through all that. How could the nurse be so irresponsible and not send you the information. I'm glad that the results turned out well. Big hugs to you for having to go through all this and for everything being all right

DansMom replied: It's terrible that you weren't informed and had to go through all that fear and worry all at once right before the procedure. I have known several women who had those pre-cancerous cells scraped/removed (a procedure called a "loop" or something?") None of the women I know has had any recurrence of the cells. I think it's not a rare thing for women to get. Still, it stinks to get anything connected with the "C" word, very scary when you are the one it's happening to. I'm sorry you had to go through that biopsy

kimberley replied: i am so sorry you had to go through that! i would be irate with that nurse too! i do hope she is fired over this, that is so unprofessional. i am glad it is not cancer and that everything will be okay. you are in my prayers and thoughts. keep us updated.

A&A'smommy replied: OMG i cant believe they let you go through all that and didnt prepare you at all!!!! STUPID nurse!!!!!!!!!!

mckayleesmom replied: It is the Loop procedure....yippie

MommyToAshley replied: Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to beat up on your Doc when it was the nurse at fault. I hope he reprimands her, especially since this is not the first time she has made a similar mistake.
