*hugs you*
All I can say, is however horrible pap smears are, they do catch things really early. I have had "naughty" cells found on my past 3 pap smears, which freak me out eac time.. but with minor treatment, they're all cleared.. Now, if I hadn't had those pap smears, those naughty precancerous cells would have had time to turn into even naughtier cells.. and treatment then would have been alot harder..
Cancer is a b*****d.. but when found early, whether in ovaries, breast or cervix, are really very very treatable.. I can run through a whole heap of success stories for you!
Is this something you could discuss with a therapist? Its really so important that you go.. Would someone coming with you help do you think?
I think every woman here will relate to this..
*more hugs*
