Hello everyone! I am 36 mom of 4! And I am currently going threw a cervical cancer scare. I found a growth coming from the opening of my cervix. I went to Dr and he also seen it. We done a pap and now I have to wait 2 weeks for results! I am so scared! I'm also having some concerning symptoms, like pevic pain, and cramps down there. Also some hip pain and uper leg pain. I have been having some bladder leak Also which has been going on for a while. Not sure if all of this is related to the growth or not but I am terrified! I have severe health anxiety as well so that's not helping me any. I'm just so scared of cancer and dying and leaving my kids behind! They are all so young. Has anyone else had this happen and it be nothing bad? I was hoping I was just a polyp or benign growth. But Dr isn't a gynecologist so he couldn't tell me what he thinks it could be. Also since I had my pap done two days ago I'm having a little more cramping down there. I kno most women don't get cramps after a pap but I also kno some do! I can't remember If I had cramps last time or not since it's been a long time. I kno ! I shouldn't of waited so long for a pap! I'm stupid! This could of been avoided maybe if I had gone sooner. But thank u for reading any advice is appreciated!
