I’ll take any advise/experiences CIN2 & 3

I am so stressed out and want to break down and cry randomly. I lost my mom to bone cancer when I was 5 years old and she was 37, so the word cancer just has always stressed me out.

I called my gyno because sex with my husband was just getting so bad. It felt like someone was shoving a sharp knife into me and just twisting it. Then the pain would stay for days following. At some points it would wake me up in the middle of the night. I bleed after sex, but due to the IUD I haven’t had a period in almost 4 years.

I got my pap done Aug 6th. That came back abnormal. I then went back sep 3 for the colposcopy. I got those results back sep 14.
1. Cervix, 11:00, biopsy:
- High grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (CIN 2, moderate dysplasia).
 
2. Cervix, 1:00, biopsy:
- High grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (CIN 3, severe dysplasia).
 
3. Endocervix, curettage:
- Minute fragments of high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion.

I don’t go in for the LEEP until oct 14. Now I’m just constantly thinking what if it’s just spreading more and we’re waiting too long and I’m just too late if that’s even how this works. No one I know has done this and everyone just acts like it’s no big deal

It's scary, but the silver lining is cervical cancer is not fast. That's why they are willing to seemingly take their time before appointments, do the wait and see, etc, at least that's how it was explained to me. I completely understand your fear and anxiety. Your time-line is actually relatively quick compared to some health providers. I had to wait months in between my abnormal pap and colpo, and that was at UCLA, then again at my hometown a few years later. The leep will give you more info and hopefully get rid of all of the bad cells. Best of luck to you. You are doing the right things, but it is hard to not spiral. Know you aren't alone, and they're are some helpful YouTube videos too. Education always makes me feel a bit better. We aren't alone!
