Funny Cells

By this time, I'm sure you're wondering why I named this blog, " Funny Cells." Well, I'm getting there, in due time.

 Due time had indeed past excruciatingly slowly from the last doctor's visit to the next. She sat me down once again to explain my dilemma in the form of a time line. There was the beginning, being the cells that essentially fix themselves, and the end, being cancer. The biopsy I spoke of before would tell us how far along the time line I was. Like I stated, from my personal experience the biopsy was not painful at all. My recommendation to having this done is making sure you have a reputable, skilled doctor. Remember, they are there to help and make you as comfortable with everything is possible. DO NOT be afraid to ask questions. I unfortunately was, but luckily my doctor had explained everything I could have asked about.

Lets jump a bit to the future shall we. When the results came back, the cells were further down the time line than everyone had expected. I was informed that I would either have a cone biopsy done, or whats called a LEEP procedure. Both, very safe, but still scary. Upon leaving the doctor a this time I was demanded by my boyfriend that I never call them cancer cells again. Instead, I had to call them funny cells. His attempt at making it that much less hard to talk about. So there you go, funny cells it is.
