update on the girl terrified of a biopsy. +cryo surgery =\

[six58.livejournal.com]

hi. some of you may remember me. i posted a week or two ago about being terrified of having a biopsy.
well. today was the day. i drugged up on motrin and valium, and even though i was nervous, i didnt throw up or pass out or anything like i thought i would. i let my gyno and the nurse know that i was VERY nervous about the biopsy, and they were super nice to me. all through the colp and biopsy, they kept asking me if i was okay.
it wasnt pleasant, by any means. in fact, im pretty sure i squealed like a piggy when she took the biopsy. haha. it took her a while to get the bleeding to stop. =\ that freaked me out a little. but then she got it to stop. and told me to raise up very slowly, asked me if i felt dizzy and i said "...not yet." i was sure that i would go into my state of shock that i usually go into after i have any invasive medical procedure done. so i sat there for a few minutes. but to my surprise, i felt fine. they gave me a pad (even though id brought one with me) so they left, i got dressed and went to make my follow-up appointment.

so anyway.
it turns out that i have mild to moderate dysplasia. the lab results from my pap indicated that it was mild, but my gyno said it looked more moderate during the colposcopy. =\ so i have to go back in ten days for cryo surgery.
im not TOO worried about that. ive heard different stories. that it doesnt hurt, or it hurts like hell. *shrug* i can handle pain i suppose.
freezing parts of my cervix doesnt freak me out as much as cutting pieces off of it.

but. so anyway!
how many of you have had cryo done?
id really like to hear your experiences with it.\
of course, you can tell me about the pain (if any) involved.
but im more curious to know if its pretty successful in getting rid of the bad cells.


also.
if my dysplasia is moderate...what are the chances of my biopsy coming back showing cancerous cells?
im actually really worried about that. my gyno said that if it came back showing that, they'd have to do a cone biopsy.
frankly, id rather shoot myself in the face.


thanks, girls.

I had severe dysplasia (about) five years ago. I also had Cryo-Surgery. It wasn't nearly as bad as the Colposcopy + 3 biopsies + scraping. It was cold (which felt strange in a place that never gets cold) and I had mild period-like cramping during the procedure. I had just a bit of cramping that day, and I took it easy, and had no other complications. Since my Cryo-Surgery I've had nothing but normal Paps!

*You say that you were drugged up on Motrin, and your doc had a difficult time stopping your bleeding? Is it possible that the Motrin thinned your blood?
