carcinoma in situ???

Post a new topicby jotaydan on Thu Feb 14, 2008 12:45 am

i am sorry for posting here, but i don't know where else to post. i have had 2 abnormal paps in which the first, i had a loop cone biopsy(extremely painful) in 1995, and the second in 2003 at which time the froze something. my last pap came back normal, but i had a d&c with hysteroscopy on feb. 4. afterwards the doctor told
me everything looked good. she said she removed a polyp, which isn't
uncommon, and that she would send it to pathology, but not to worry,
because they almost never come back cancerous. well, this morning i
got a call from her personally telling me that she was aware that i
had an appointment in about a week, but the pathology report came
back, and i needed to come over to discuss it. i am still a little
confused. she first said that it is not the worst thing. she
mentioned a typical, and i think she said carcinoma in situ. but i
have no idea what these mean. she showed me the report briefly, and
said she agrees with the pathologist, that i should have a
hysterectomy. she said she was going to try to leave my ovaries, and
remove my uterus vaginally. that she would be using a
laporoscope???? my big question is, if she removed the polyp, and
scraped out the lining, why do i need the hysterectomy?? i want
another child, and am in no way ready to give up on that dream. is
there anyone out there with any suggestions???
