I know this disease happens to people but I have been married to my husband for nearly 25 years.  I was shocked and nearly fainted when the nurse told me over the phone.  I was so stunned that I couldn't even speak.  I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would have this.  I just feel like a deer in headlights and dirty all the way to my intermost being!  I was told it was a flat wart removed from my vagina that was taken out during a Colposcopy and Biopsy.  I know I should called back and really talk to the nurse and  find out more on this but I feel tainted and dirty.  I am utterly humiliated by this.  I had Endometriosis and had a Total Hysterectomy in 2009 and I just thought the Pap Smears was just part of my future maintenance and care.   I researched what I was told and find that this disease is a STD that never goes away ever that it's just something that can be dormant.  This makes me feel physically ill.
