Cancer?
Today was off to a good start and then we went to couples counseling. I'm going back to the same person next week alone then the following week again together. It was somewhat painful to listen to SO gloat about his son in counseling. Counselor was trying to get him to remember anytime he had been rejected by his son and how that felt. Etc. that we should always try to start from a place of compassion for the other person when things are brought up that might cause an argument. He still doesn't get it and was arguing about small minute details of unimportant aspects surrounding his sons behavior.
As a side note as we were leaving I got a voicemail from my gynecologist office and they have now found some cells that could be pre cancer and need to perform a procedure soon. Great. So we get in the car and he asks "what do you want to do about tonight then? Do you want me to take him somewhere for a while? Do you want to cancel our plans?" Seriously ?! This man can't think on his own. Here I am w bad news that I just told him So I said yea maybe take him somewhere (so I don't have to hear them yammering) then he says again do you want to cancel our plans. No no I don't Jesus. Here I am at home typing in step talk from a bathtub crying. They are off being a couple. It's better than them being here. I chose it. It still sucks. I hope he gets something from counseling.
I hope one of the things he gets is that SS8s behavior isn't juSt him being a kid there's more to it then that mainly bc what I think she tried to point out in a way is that SO doesn't get the same treatment from him. Let him think about that.
He said in counseling that he wants to get this behind us and bd find w the arguing. She told him "sorry but that's not going to happen. You're in a relationship" lol.

Oh no, so sorry about the
Oh no, so sorry about the precancerous thing. That is so scary. But it's also pretty common. Have the procedure and you'll be fine. It doesn't make it less emotional for you now though. Your SO is acting like a jerk.
Something very similar happened to me. Same diagnosis. Call from the gyno, precancer, procedure, let's get this dealt with, blah blah blah. I was a mess, scared, crying to DH. He gets a call from SD and he is suddenly all sweetness and light, laughing like he's on top of the world. Great. Thanks for the support, asshole. I'll just be over here in the corner feeling invisible and unimportant.
No, they don't get it. I think DH and I have worked through enough crap like this by now that he'd not do that to me again. I hope yours figures out how to be a partner too.
I'm so sorry to hear the bad
I'm so sorry to hear the bad news, but try not to freak. It's happened to me 3 times - all times came back normal. In fact here, if you're under the age of 40 they just do anoter pap in 6 months to see if it's back to normal because they were performing so many unnecessary biopsies on young ladies.
If they are doing the biopsy, ask the doctor to tell you when they're going to snip you. Have them do a count down. If you cough when they snip, you don't feel it.
Don't fret. I'm sure you're fine.
Thanks guys. I didn't know
Thanks guys. I didn't know how common it was. This was my second one since the first high risk of cancer one. So biopsy thing in a couple weeks.
Thank you so much !! No one I
Thank you so much !! No one I know of I. My close gfs have had it done before. I'm 30. This makes me feel a lot better.
I had the cryosurgery
I had the cryosurgery (freezing) as well. That was about 20 years ago and I have had normal paps since.
Try not to worry too much.
I've had more biopsies than I
I've had more biopsies than I could count. Probably a dozen from ages 25-33. I also had cryosurgery once, and I didn't end up with normal Paps for a couple of years. I only finally had normal Paps after my first baby at age 34. It's scary, but know that as long as you get these small procedures done, you'll never die of cervical cancer. Small price to pay.
My DH was never very supportive of it. He even called my gyno a butcher because he thought it was all for nothing.
I'm overdue for my annual exam...I better get it done too!
*hugs to you*
Yes, I believe the "butcher"
Yes, I believe the "butcher" was a common belief which is now they don't do biopsy's after the first bad pap. I had 3 before they changed standard procedures. If they did things then like they do now, I would have had zero.
Oh wow thanks I feel much
Oh wow thanks I feel much better I'm sorry you guys had to do all those! Now I'm not as afraid to tell my mom I didn't want her to worry too much.
Hey I am sorry about the
Hey I am sorry about the medical issues, but I know you can pull through okay!! Chin up!
My fiance can't make decisions for himself, I hate being the boss all the time and deciding where to eat or what to eat. So annoying!! He's in law enforcement and I have read that since they make decisions all day in their job, they don't like to make them in their home life. So...I use that and I guess it's not too bad picking everything but it makes me feel like .....a spoiled brat? Anyway...it's best to just speak your mind in my opinion and honestly your SO should be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more supportive. I would have had a meltdown and my fiance is my best friend and I would need him. I would tell him how you feel. Best wishes for your procedure! *hugs*
I also had this procedure. I
I also had this procedure. I finally realized while attending college that if I went to the "cheap" clinic, I always had paps they would call suspicious. Then I started going to by PCP for it and I was fine ever since.
