This is my FAVORITE shit - call from the OBGYN's office - two weeks after the pap smear - saying "please call us immediately, and we'll be back in the office Wednesday."

Why do they pull that shit? I can work myself into a major lather by then!!!!!

It's always "urgent" when the doc wants to see you on their terms, then they leave you hanging for an appointment time/date. If you cancel an appointment you made, the doc's office will get their panties in a knot and charge you a $50 fee for the cancellation.


Bastards!

the doc wears panties? is he a woofter or just a tranny?

I know how you feel hon! I've been told that I have a large polyp in my uterus (don't you love how they don't use the word tumour anymore?) My appt with the OBGYN was for JUNE! - But being a smart canuck, I know to get on cancellation lists. I go see him next week instead!

What worries me is that I had cancerous cells frozen off my cervix in '83! Oh well, all I can do is hope it's benign, but dammit I've sure been worrying a lot!

My guess on your PAP? It's probably come back as "not normal". If that is the case, they will re-do the test. Following that, if necessary, they will send you for a colposcopy to take a closer look at the cells in question. If necessary, they'll freeze or burn off the applicable cells. Then, you have the joy of a PAP every 6 months for a couple of years!!! Hang in there and DON'T WORRY! If you have your PAP done every year, and this year there is a change, chances are you have cells that are "changing", and they will get rid of them before they can become a problem!
