I was dx with HPV 3 years ago. I am very concerned about it leading to cervical cancer. I have had abnormal paps for the past 3 years, I have had a cryo freezing done, 2 biopsy done, and get a pap every 4 months. I am also taking 800mcg of folic Acid daily. I am terrified of this. Any inspirational stories about their battle?|||I was also dx with HPV about 4 years ago and had the COPO freezing done. I was so worried and depressed for a long time, but I kept going with my doctor and asking more and more questions and felt more and more comfortable. After the freezing I had paps 4 times a year and now I am normal, so far so good. BUt to be honest with you whenever I have sex with my boyfriend now (who is my boyfriend for 5 years) it doesnt smell the same down there. He says that he doesnt smell anything different but I do. I asked the doctor the last time that I went and she told me that it is normal for your body chemistry to change after the freezing. I would advise you to keep going to the doctor and getting your paps maybe even every 3 months and if nothing is occuring then tell your doctor to send you to a specialist. If you are still getting the freezing done then I dont think that you have cervical cancer but only have the cells that can lead to it. Dont be scared to get a second or even thid opinion. Good luck my dear.|||I%26#039;m not sure I can give you inspirational, but to say you%26#039;re doing all the right things by keeping up with your paps. I had the leep procedure due to the severity, and was too far progressed for the cryo. But I haven%26#039;t had any abnormal paps since, and that was over 5yrs ago|||Hang in there, I had a leep done last year and so far so good. Just keep up with the regular Pap%26#039;s and everything should be okay. It%26#039;s when you don%26#039;t go for your exams that problems start. Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable forms. Again best of luck|||Inspiration for you can just be that you have not had cancer. Count your blessings look around you and thank God for all them. God is inspiration in Himself. He can see you through anything. That is my inspiration. Also I%26#039;ve heard of a supplement called Razzip - Its a mixture of ressberries and bluberries and some other important antioxidants specifically made for HPV. If you don%26#039;t get that then just try eat lots of rassberries and blueberries strawberries you get the picture - they are incrediblly good for you immune system which will help you to avoid getting cancer. You may have abnormal paps but you dont have cancer so keep doing what your doing and theres no way with all the technology available today that if you caught it in time it could not be taken care of easily. Just definitly keep going every 4 months and be thankful you have a doctor so readidly available- alot of women can%26#039;t afford that espically ones overseas. Hang in there everything will be OKAY!
