Okay, well, I'm not sick I'm not going to die...anytime soon that is. But during a girlie exam my results came back abnormal but still negative enough to not have to go back in right away...or so I thought....lol. My doctor is partnered with a research clinic that is trying to find a more thorough way of screening for HPV and other nastiness. So I'm going to go back in for a colposcopy on Tuesday. The nurse that I spoke with on the phone was super nice, and let me know that I will be used as a "control" because obviously I am negative for Hpv and Cervical Cancer....but anyway, It's free and I will get reimbursed personally for willingly participating, AND here's the reason I'm doing it...I had the abnormal results to begin with and if anything abnormal shows in this procedure they will biopsy it and I will at least know what it is. Anyway, here's some information on what the heck it is...honestly if you want the "crazy lady's breakdown"...it's a highly technical cleaning...lol
