Re: stage 3 or 4 squamous cell carcinoma

Hi ,

I would like to hear more about how you came to have this diagnosis. I confess,

I did a little googling to try to find out how a late stage cervical cancer is

diagnosed.

All I know is that a pap isn't able to diagnose cancer completely, nor can it

determine stage. That's why a biopsy is needed to determine if it is really

cancer. So, without the biopsy, I don't know if you have cancer or an

infection. And, I really don't understand how stage is determined, but I know

it isn't through a pap.

If you had an infection, and the doctor told you it was later stage cancer, then

he needs to be reported to someone.

Do you have copies of your pathology reports? You should always get copies of

your pathology reports. I would like to know exactly what's on them.

Either way, whatever it is you had, I'm glad it's gone.
