Question:
I'm hoping to get some valuable insight from all you caring and knowledgeable ladies because I just don't know who else to go to for this and would hopefully understand... I have Sev. Dysp/CIN III but I've already had a hysterectomy so it's on my vagina. I'm going in on Oct. 9th to have a simple vaginectomy and I don't think it's that common because I haven't had much luck in trying to find anything on it... but that's not really why I'm writing.... I'm going through something I can't explain....I'm confused, depressed, etc.. and I can't seem to let my husband comfort me with all this going on and I honestly can't figure out why. He's a good man, not too knowledgeable about all this and I guess his lack of knowledge comes across as not taking it too seriously and I see it as a serious condition.... am I wrong and overreacting? Has anyone else gone through these emotions and how did you get over it because I feel it really causing a wedge between us right now and now is when I could use my best friend. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Answer:
Hi, I don't know what you are going through, having a hysterectomy alone scares me to death.
I am so sorry that you are feeling alone in your medical needs. I just wanted to let you know that we are here for you as much as possible, and I am sending BIG (((HUGS))) your way.
I am freaking over my LEEP procedure, nothing like what you have gone through!
Good luck and hope that I could make you feel a little better

Answer:
Thanks Dani, I knew coming here I'd be among friends who understood, I just wish I could figure out a way of not blocking my husband out and to get him to understand how scary all this is.... especially since my mom is going through chemo right now for cancer. It's been so encouraging to read all the positive posts from those who have received negative or improved results.... God bless all of you.
Good luck dani and I look forward to reading your positive news when it comes! Rhonnie
Answer:
hi rhonnie. i am in the same boat as you. i understand exactly what you are going thru with your cancer scare, and with your husband. i feel the same. i had a hysterectomy 2 years ago and twice now the doc has found VAIN2 (same as CIN but in vagina). first was xmas 2005, i went into hosp for the day to remove it. then july this year i was told i had it again. ive got to wait till january to see what happens next with me and the wait is agonising. my partner is the same, he is always there for me, but he doesnt just know how i feel bout it all. how old are you rhonnie? im 42 and in uk. any way, any questions, any support you need, just yell. we can support each other as we both understand the emotions behind something as personal as this. take care, paula x
Answer:
Rhonnie,
I do not think you are overreacting at all. That is very scary what you are going through, and escpecially not being able to find information to know exactly what you will be going through. Just thinking about having a hysetectomy scares me, much less the other. On top of that you are worrying about your Mother going through her chemo. I would be a nervous wreck too. It is great to be able to come here, hear other women's stories, encouragement, etc. I know it helped me. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers hon. Sending you hugggsssss...
