I am 66 years old and had cervical cancer two years ago. I had radiation and chemo and so far I am cancer free. I wish I had known about this site years ago. I had fibroid tumors 15 years ago and doctor put me on low dose birth control pills because I was having heavy bleeding. He told me that once I went through menopause the fibroid tumors would probably shrink and I wouldn't have any more problems. went through menopause when I was 56. Didn't have any night sweats, hot flashes or any other symptoms other than periods stopped. Had normal pap smears until four years ago. Four years ago when I went for pap smear, it came back abnormal. Woman gyno told me that I was low on estrogen after doing blood work. She gave me an Estring to use. She told me to come back in three months and have another pap smear. I did not like the Estring and only left it in for a little over 30 days. Two years ago I started spotting and went to family doctor. I told her that I had been spotting off and on for several months. She did not examine me. I had an appointment made to see a woman gyno but it was over a month away from my primary doctors appointment. The primary doctor asked me if I had seen a gyno and I told her that I had an appointment but it was over a month away. She didn't do anything but tell me to follow up with gyno. Well three weeks after seeing this female primary care quack, I started hemorrhaging and my daughter took me to ER. I was admitted and five days and later told I had stage 3 cervical cancer. I have been going every three months to the gyno oncologist since being cancer free to have pap smears. I was diagnosed with Lichen sclerosus three months ago. When I went to my three month checkup last week, the doctor said he wanted me to come back in three weeks. He said he saw a spot that could be the Lichen Sclerosus or something else. I am really getting tired of going to the doctor and feel like cancelling the appointment for three week follow up. I have some radiation damage from the radiation as it is. I have been using the raw honey twice a day since last week. I know my post is long. I feel the doctors should have found the cervical cancer earlier through pap smears and didn't. I had to remind the doctor that he had diagnosed the lichen sclerosus three months ago when he did a biopsy. I am thinking about going in six months instead of paying money I can't really afford to go back in three weeks for him to realize that it is just the lichen sclerosus. He mentioned three months ago he could prescribe a steroid cream. I told him no. He is not a bad doctor but he thinks first about hormones and strong medications. I am just wondering if any of you have had similar experiences. I really don't have much faith in doctors.
