Prayers to you and your family. My mother went for several years with abnormal cells found during her yearly exam. They watched her closely. She never had an STD and she never got cancer. It's something that happens. Some women are more prone to it than others. Please keep us posted. And don't worry. Whatever happens, you guys will be able to deal with it. I found this on a women's health site (search for "abnormal pap smears" and you'll get over 90,000 hits!

Being alarmed or worried is a completely normal reaction when told your Pap smear is abnormal but, it's important to remember that most cases of abnormal Pap smear results do not indicate cancer.

What an abnormal Pap smear does mean is further diagnostic procedures must be discussed with your physician; abnormal Pap smear results will usually require re- testing in three to six months or Colposcopy.

What does that mean?
Pap smear tests are screening tests. The test looks for any abnormal cells that may be precancerous or for any cells that may be a sign of infection. If you are told that your pap smear is abnormal it is usually because of one of the following:
There were not enough cells taken during the test and it needs to be repeated
There was too much inflammation to read the pap smear. This means there may be an infection that needs to be cleared up before repeating the test
There are abnormal cells that may indicate changes in the cervix. These may not be cancer cells, but if left untreated they may turn into cancer cells
