I know exactly what you mean. When the doc 1st told me, all I heard was cancer, too. I spent quite a while shaking & crying. Then I started researching & found out that it really isn't quite as scary as I thought ... and it is easily - and relatively painlessly - treatable. I mean it, if you want to talk or whatever, call me. And assure Richard it will be ok. I was even able to conceive & carry Tylar after having my LEEP. I didn't have the hysterectomy until 8 months after she was born.
