I've just received another abnormal pap since having cryotherapy done in june for the removal of pre-cancerous cells from my cervix. This is so nerve racking. The cryotherapy wasn't that bad but is there anything else they will do to me to get rid of these abnormal cells. They set me up with another appointment and i'm guessing i'll have another colposcopy and maybe another biopsy. Is cryotherapy the only treatment after a biopsy reveals that i have pre-cancerous cells? My biopsy in the spring said i had class one pre-cancerous cells if that helps.

Is there anything else they might try to do to me? I'd like to have an idea of what will happen to me before i go so i can research it myself online and at least have an idea of whats going on. Doctors like to throw alot of information out there at you, and at a time when i'm most nervous and scared, so i'd like to go a little informed.

Hi there,

Sorry for the late response. Did you check out the following board:

They know a lot about HPV and abnormal paps, so they might be able to give you more information.
