783761 tn?1236216448 And my friend went for pap smear and a few other tests before she planned for her baby because her mother is a cervical cancer survivor and her grandfather had some other cancer. I think such people should get regular medical check ups done. You have not mentioned it in your post as to why you need a pap smear. I think it is good if they find out detect early so that you get medical help asap.

586351 tn?1218474177 You will be glad later that you went ahead and had the surgery. Cancer can come back from any stage. I am a Stage IIC. Mine probably never went away after chemo. I have to have to major surgeries within a ten month span. It will be no fun, but it is necessary. If you are not sure of your doctor's advice, do get a second opinion. Also, only use a GYN/ONC for this second surgery. They have more experience with this disease and your chances of a good outcome are much better.
Avatar n tn You are correct in the fact that the longer an HPV infection is active, the more likely it was cause dysplasia, however only a very small percentage of dysplasia will actually go on to develop into cervical cancer. Only 1% of all CIN1 cases will develop in cancer, and less than 50% of CIN2 cases will even progress to CIN3. Make sure to keep monitoring your paps and HPV status as well as doing what you can to clear and active infection.
Avatar f tn I just had very successful laser minimally invasive surgery and am happier than ever. These docs treat people a lot who had failed fusions. Maybe there is a way not to have another one.
Avatar n tn There is no central spinal stenosis noted at the cervical spine. The cervical cord is normal in size and appearance with no changes of myelopathy. Normal cranio-cervical junction noted. IMPRESSION: Mild disc herniation at C5-C6 narrowing both exit foraminae not causing nerve root impingement. Left disc osteophyte complex at the C6-C7 level, narrowing the left exit foramen with mild disc impingement of the left exiting nerve root.

Avatar n tn She found a doctor in ny that uses laser for surgical treatment of breast cancer, DCIS, microcalcifications etc. He uses laser for procedures such as lumpectomy, mastectomy, etc. She is considering using this doctor but she is concerned about why more doctors don't use laser. Does anyone have information on why laser is not more commonly used?

Your ovaries are free and clear..one mass sounds to be uterine,,a Mass is simply a "group" term used loosley for any lump or bump that they dont kno what it is,,,could be's cyst, polyp, endometrial tissue, aneometrial tissue (all begnine) some very very rare cyst can be malignant,,If you had a malignancy your white count should be HIGH ..
Avatar n tn Hi, I had stage 2B cervical cancer. I went through external/internal radiation and chemo. I am not familiar with cyberknife surgery. Did the Dr.'s say if chemo & radiation is an option? Surgery was not offered to me as treatment. I went through my treatment fine. I'm glad you are there for your sister. How is she doing? I would be happy to answer any questions you both may have or listen whenever you need to talk. Please let me know if I can help in anyway.
643039 tn?1292991607 I had undergone physiotherapy and traction was also applied to the neck for a week which has given relief for the time. Is there any procedure other than surgery such as laser etc. for removal / destruction of these osteophytes.
Avatar m tn Yes, surgical correction is possible through posterior cervical foraminotomy. Usually cervical fusion surgery is done through an anterior approach and the two surgeries are not combined. If a posterior approach was adopted for decompression/laminectomy/fusion, then yes, it would be possible to do foraminotomy along with the other surgery. Also, if nerve compression is the only cause of your pain, then only foraminotomy will also help.
Avatar n tn Hi. Endocervical cancer is just another term for cervical cancer. The endocervix refers to the lining of the inner portion of the cervix (the exposed portion of the cervix is called the ectocervix). Most cervical cancers arise from the cells lining the junction between the endocervix and ectocervix. Most cervical cancers are a result of mutations caused by infection with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). If the cancer is stage 1, it means that it is still confined within the cervix.

Avatar f tn to complete, however, I am in desperate need of endoscopic laser surgery on my L5 and am thinking of delaying the Herceptin treatments for 3 months so that I can get this surgery done as an out patient under a local anesthesia.

Avatar n tn Wow - I respsonded to this post last night and I don't know what happened to it. I remember being all angry over your doctor's response and somehow my reply wound up in cyberspace somewhere.... :( Anyhow - here I go again. (this gets me a little hot under the collar) First of all I would suggest that you obtain a copy of your medical records and secondly to ask for a referral to another doctor.
