Ever think that knowing is better than not knowing? Most people would. But sometimes, oh just sometimes, you wish you had never known in the first place.

Precancerous changes that need to be monitored.

That's what I was told. Not much else really. Other than, oh hey, if it gets worse, we'll remove a portion of the cervix, and if it doesn't change at all, then we'll still remove a part of your cervix.
Awesome.

Well, unfortunately for me, I am a poor college student who does not have the finances to follow up with the treatment plans he has offered me.

I looked through numerous resources and talked to a few family friends in the healthcare profession (pharmacists, OB/GYN, nurses, etc) and a lot of the response I got was to change my diet. Um. Okay? Not a lot of research or proof there, and I am not entirely comfortable throwing random roots I have never heard of into my blender and drinking them 8-10 times daily. Just not my personal preference.

Besides, mother dearest is complaining about how much money I spend on food as it is, so realistically, paying for treatment, is not on the top of anyone's to-do list.

So, I will wait until 2014, at which point I probably won't qualify for health insurance due to a "pre-existing condition" and will have to pay out of pocket to see if my cervix will be salvageable. Here's hoping it stays the same and doesn't get worse.

Also, I have been having more tachycardic events. Yay. They basically result in what appears to be a panic attack (shortness of breath, fainting, etc). I am light headed almost persistently now, and have finally leveled off in weight fluctuation. Hopefully that will be addressed at my annual primary provider appointment.

That's sort of all I have for now.
There will be more updates eventually.
