This sucks.. Mood
Wednesday, May 21, 2008 | A General Update story

So today I went to the doctor and talked about everything. It turns out I'm "high-risk" HPV. They did a Colposcopy I don't care what anybody says..it hurt like hell! I'm still sore! Surprised They're sending out my abnormal cells for a biopsy, which will tell us where to go from there. Ofcourse, the doctor told me I needed to start taking a multivitimin, eat better, and stop smoking to help my body fight this and build my immune system. So, right now thats my top priority.Quiting smoking is going to be a challenge. It seems liek everyone I'm around smokes. I'm strong and determined to do it. Plus, I have the best guy in the world supporting me. Thank god he's not a smoker!! I've been wanting to quite for a while now and I guess I never really had the modivation. I've got it now! Plus, I've quit drinking. Its hard having friends who are 21 and at their prime to drink. It's a lot of pressure and I guess they don't really understand why I don't anymore. Anyways, needless to say I'm standing my ground! I've got my health to worry about. I should have my biopsy results in 10 days ,at the most,and I have another appointmeny scheduled for 2 weeks.  God doesn't give us any more then we can handle right? Just got keep holding my head up and remember that!

Todays the day I go the the Obgyn for more info about my HPV. I'm kind of nervious because I don't know what to expect, but I'm trying to keep my head up. I'm glad I have people in my life who are supportive. It's hard not having my boyfriend with me right now. Although he's halfway around the world, he's been such an awesome guy. He comes home in August from Iraq. Yes, he's deployed in the army. I have my mom here and my best friend and they've both been so awesome. I thank God to have these people in my life. I'll update when I find out more.

Friday, May 16, 2008 | A Sad story

I just joined DS today and I know I'll find it very helpful in handling this and remaining strong. I found out from my doctor yesterday that I was positive for HPV and that I needed to see my Obgyn. My head is spinning and overwelmed with questions and every emotion you could think of.  I've been doing a lot of research which has helped to calm my nerves, but I'm still pretty anxious. I think the hardest part was telling my boyfriend. He is extremely supportive and willing to help in anyway, even though I don't think he's fully taken it all in.  I have an appointment Tuesday, so hopefully a lot of questions will be answered and I can find out more. I've just gotta stay strong 'til then.
