My sister got abnormal paps every time she went to the ob/gyn and never has gotten cancer. It is not time to panic. Your doctor is obviously (to me) being thorough. Sounds like you have a winner there. Keep your oars in the water baby, its not time to abandon ship. Row honey, row. Keep me posted!

almost 9 years agoAs you can see from the prior comments, atypical cells are not unusual following cancer treatment. A likely factor in this is immune system impairment from the stresses of diagnosis and treatment. Everything may well resolve in time, but the atypical cells may be your body's hint to you that it would love some immune system support. A functional medicine physician or naturopathic physician can help you restore your immune system - feel free to contact me privately if you'd like a referral to one in your area.
Many blessings,
Dr. Shani Fox

almost 10 years agoHi Cathyl, welcome to WhatNext. I just saw your post and wanted to share a link to a discussion we had a while back about "how did you tell your boss you have cancer." I thought you might get some ideas: https://www.whatnext.com/questions/how-did-you-tell-your-boss-you-have-cancer-knowing-what-you-know-now-would-you-do-anything-differently
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
