Hello doctors,  I know you have so many people you speak to so you may not remember me.  Hopefully I get Dr. Handsfield.  I am not here with crazy questions.  I am actually just writing to thank you for helping so much.  I have taken your advice and not letting HPV run my life.  I have focused back on my kids.  I did go back to the doctor.  I stopped with my old doctor and found an amazing new one.  I am glad I did not wait 3 years to retest myself.  My pap smear ,for the 1st time since i found out about this, came back abnormal but my HPV came back negative.  I was told I have 1st level dysplexia if that is exactly what it is.  I am sure you know what I mean.  She bought me back for a coposcopy.  She did not see anything with the microscope so no biopsy was sent.  She did take a sample from high up in the cervix and run another HPV test. Still waiting on those results.  She could not figure why an abnormal pap and negative hpv test.  She said there may have been an infection at that time that affected pap smear.  I just wanted to write you a quick post to let you know.  I did find a close friend of mine that confided in me that she does also have high risk hpv.  Now I can breathe.

Welcome back to our foreign. The tone of your post is different and reflects the progress you have made. Congratulations.  I am also pleased that you have now found a physician who you feel good about. It is important to have a healthcare provider who you feel comfortable talking with and who provide you with the information that you need.---
