I got a letter in the mail yesterday that my pap smear came back abnormal. All my pap smears have always been normal. The letter said that an abnormal pap smear is usually NOT associated w/ cancer, but rather w/ very early precancerous changes in the cervix, or more commonly, w/ some type of infection or irritation. In order to determine the cause of this slight abnormality, I have to have another pelvic exam, looking for any causes of the abnormal cells. I tried calling the Dr. right after I opened the letter, at 4:50 & they already had the answering machine on when they were originally supposed to be open until 5:00. I recently have been tested for STD's & all my tests have come back fine. I have been a complete wreck & very stressed out about all of this. I have to wait until Mon. to talk to my Dr. I'll have to wait until I get an appt. & for the results. Unfortunately there have been a few people that I had unprotected sex with-but now I always use a condom. Feedback-thx
