My mother was diagnosed with uterine cancer a couple years ago. She hadn't been for a pap smear in probably 20 years. She had a complete hysterectomy, and her doctor said they got all of the cancer. No need for radiation or chemo. She was very lucky. The doctor said that she had a very slow growing cancer, and that it was contained in the uterus, but that it had probably been growing for years. It was a very difficult time for our whole family, and I feel for you. My only advice is to rely on your friends and family. You need the love and support from them now, more than ever. My thoughts are with you for a positive outcome on your pap test.
