I recently went to the doctor and was told I have abnormal cell that could be cancerous. I am going in for more testing next week, but am terrified of what they might say... The doctors are so vague they scare the hell out of me then won't give me time to ask questions. has anyone else had this experience?

You just have to keep the faith that everything will be ok. Its good that you hopefully caught whatever was abnormal with you early that way worst case you get it taken care of quickly and for good. Best case its absolutely nothing. Hoping the best for you.

The day I had my biopsy the doctor patted me on the back and said she was pretty sure it wasn't cancer. They don't like to talk to you about it till they're sure. One of the reasons is that they don't want to scare you too much. I think not knowing and not having it explained to you is worse. I hope your tests come out ok and it turns out to be nothing serious. I did have cancer but I am now 3 Years cancer free.

I am really happy for you! My fear is really just the unknown I guess,and frustration. I just want to know to know more but you're probably right ABOUT WHY THEY DON'T TELL ONE MUCH UNTIL THEY HAVE SOME ANSWERS

Abnormal cells can be an indication of a possible problem, tests can be used to ascertain whether or not this possibility needs monitoring at frequent or infrequenct intervals. The doctor is vague because he simply doesn't know...yet he is warning you that there is a possibility that something may be discovered. I have had 'abnormal cells' all my life...then again, who ever said anything about me was normal? Relax, wait to see what the tests show, borrowing trouble only means you get more upset sooner than needed, or upset when there is no need to at all.

Hold your head up girl and let your savior take control because the more you worry about this the more depressed and ill you will become. You need to read about mind over body. The only thing that seperates the mind and body is the spirit. It is a tool so use it. Dr's are people in a rat race just like the rest of us so make a appointment just to talk with him and tell the seceratary this.Bless you.
