Drat...what a snark fest. defiantbadgirl...congrats on your upcoming marriage. I wish you both the very best. He sounds like a great guy, not running from all of this and going his best to take care of your medical needs in the future. Around nine years ago when all my cancer drama started, people around me acted like it was contageous and melted away. This man has BALLS. Labs do screw up sometimes. There was a huge scandal over twenty years ago about labs being sent slides to look at, but to save money the slides were given only about 30 seconds for each. Not enough time to check all of it thoroughly. When investigated, women who had been told they were fine actually had cancer or precancerous cells. Am glad you and your doctor got to the bottom of it and found out that it is "adenocarcinoma in situ and not invasive at all." That must have been a big relief...in spite of knowing you will have to keep a careful watch for a while...that this surgery might be the end of this. Pssst...my cancer came back several times, but I have been in remission for the past five years. Yaaaay! I am still here and enjoying the H out of my life. You are doing everything you should, like listening to your doctor (sometimes when we are upset it is hard to download everything and it might be wise to bring a small tape recorder, or to not be alone...bring someone else with you). You might not be able to afford a second opinion, and if you feel you need one...I am sure you and your M will handle it. Right now you are probably wanting to hear from those who have experienced coning, and can tell you of their experience and what their doctors advised them about having sex afterward. Sometimes you can ask half a dozen doctors and get different instructions from each. My advice? Buy some flowers at Walmart. Take it to your doctor's receptionist and thank her for being part of the team who is helping you through this tough time. Explain that you are getting married on Wednesday and you really neeeeeed to find out if you may have sex on your wedding night. If you whisper this to her... Few words, pleading eyes. Maybe she will help you have some brief contact with your doctor, even if you just pass notes...and he says yes or no, or says yes but with a condom or sets other limits. If you cannot get an answer from him, or if he says not for another few weeks...gawd, you can have some very wild sex without the usual vagina/penis penetration part. As long as you feel...completely used and loved up and exhausted... Best wishes to you on getting your doc to pass you a note that's a nookie permission slip. Oh! I just thought of something. Phone 1-800-4-CANCER and there is all kinds of free information they will send you about your cancer and getting financial help, as well as other things. If you send me a message on the other side, I can also find you a support group, maybe for others who have had the exact same cancer you are dealing with...and some might have had the coring and sex issue come up. Looks like you did well on your own though, finding out that some people who have had corings of their cervix have had sex after two weeks, or soon after when the bleeding stopped. Again, best wishes for you both.
