Which is a huge relief, isn't it?

if pre-cancer are removed then I can't have children.

animals and having my own children means more than almost anything to me, unconditional love to give.

Is that what the doctor said? That's not always the case.

Well not to be too personal, but if it was precancerous cells on a Pap smear then I know that LOTS of women go on to have children after having it removed. Friend of mine with high-grade precancer had it removed and she is due to have her second baby this week. Don't despair and give up yet until have talked to another doctor about your condition to get a second opinion. Things often sound worse than they end up being in the end and what some doctor may say is not fixable the way you want may actually be possible so try not to let it get you down until you know for sure that there is no other option. Staying positive will help your health too so try your best and make sure you get another opinion just to be sure.

yes, that's my case.

vela, no - it wasn't by pap smear exam. I wish I could grab that encouragment.

I'm sorry it seems so insurmountable. Do make sure to get another doctor's opinion though to make sure there are no other options available. Sometimes new technologies and ways of helping are found that not all doctors know about, and we will be praying for you that things can work out for the best.

Please PM me Gina if you want to. I'm here for you sweetie. I hope everything will turn out to be ok. Is there anything I can do to help you?

Gina - I'm sorry I didn't post anything before, I kept reading the thread and wondering what was going on. If a second opinion, and even a third can be a good idea, indicates that the pre-cancerous cells should be removed to save your life, then that is what you have to do. This is a massive blow, and I know that's an understatement, for someone who wants to bear their own children. I find it interesting that someone like you, who has adopted a large number of cats from a variety of sources and given them unconditional love, isn't more focused on raising children than on having your "own". I knew from my time as a nanny that loving children that are not of your body is not at all difficult, even loving them to the point where you would give up a great deal for them. I can't think of anyone more likely to give adopted children a stable and loving home than you. It's not the end of the world, but it is yet another challenge.

Keep posting and we'll keep supporting you.

Gina, before making any decision please seek out a second opinion. I was also diagnosed with pre-cancerous cells when I was 29, I had surgery but it didn't remove all of them. The doctor told me that I should have a hysterecomy, but I did some research and found another option that he was willing to try. The technology has advanced quite a bit since that time, so please do not accept this as the only outcome. If you would like to talk feel free to PM me.

Gina, I'm so sorry for everything... I'm sure you will be strong and go through all this... Just be patient and you'll see how things turn out better ((((hugs)))) Please feel free to PM me if you want to...

I'm so sorry Gina. If you can't have kids you can always adopt. As far as I know I can have kids and I still plan on adopting. Take care of yourself and worry about the kids when the time comes.
