... I had CIN III and they also called it carcinoma in situ and this was almost 30 years ago......treated with cryosurgery in the doctors office and haven't had a problem since. Don't go thru all that other stuff, all you really need is cryosurgery.....honest. If they're not offering it to you, find another doctor that will. That's how strongly I feel about it. (12 replies)

... Just as a matter of interest what level of CIN did you have for this procedure , Cryotherapy is used to treat abnormal cervical cells (CIN) by destroying the affected area so that normal cells can grow back in their place. It has a slightly lower success rate than the other treatments for abnormal cervical cells and so it is less commonly used, particularly for CIN3. (12 replies)

... Hi All Like all you ladies on here am a bit worried at the moment (we do like to stress eh!) I had routine smear done which results were back within a week for CIN3 with referral to colposcopy unit within two weeks, so doing the naughty I looked at everything online and got myself into a bit of a tiz initially until I realised how common this can be, so relaxed somewhat...

... First, I would liked to thank everyone who has posted on this message board. You have given us much more information than we have ever received from any of the gynecologists that have treated my daughter for CIN1 to a more recent diagnosis of CIN3 (no clear margins) preceded by several pap smears, colposcopy, 2 ECC, and a Leep procedure. We are waiting (and fighting) for... (0 replies)

... Sorry to hear you're having such a hard time. CIN3 is not cancer but precancer (highest grade before actual invasive cancer). I, like you, was told that one or two laser ablations should take care of the recurrent VIN3 (vulvar lesions) I had and this wasnt the case either. That was 22 years ago and I am still dealing with HPV which has affected everything from the vulva,... (2 replies)

... so I've had 2 leeps, with clear margins, and I still have cin3, high grade cells. I have to get another leep soon...how is this happening? Oncologist told me that it is not cancer, nor will it be anytime soon, but I'm so confused. If 1-2 leeps cures 90% of cases, then where does that leave me? An advice/help is greatly appreciated. Thanks (2 replies)

... My diagnosis is that I'm borderline cin3/invasive - AIS. They are doing a Cone to determine what type of hysto I will have, either vaginal or abdominal. They want to do a cone on July 14 & hysto on 16th. I have only seen one article about having to have the hysto within 72 hrs. of the cone. But not a whole lot of info on this. Has anyone else been through this? The doc... (4 replies)

... Yes. Happens to lots of women during and sometimes after pregnancy. This makes me extremely nervous. I believe the HPV test is crap, in that when it shows positive you definitely have it, but when it shows negative you probably still have it. In fact, so many women have reported identical pathology that I wonder if the test is any good at detecting anything short of a... (7 replies)

... Brieaukirsch, thanks for the input. Maybe you are right. I've been tested HPV 3 years ago, and never once has been tested positive (even the most recent HGSIL pap ). It is very confusing, but my Cone biopsy report did mention HPV. It is possible that after having my second son, my low immune system wakes up my sleeping HPV virus ?? (it wakes up many other things... (7 replies)

... Benson, thanks so much for the response. I am NOT alone anymore:) Sorry for the confusing.....my big question is....do you have your most recent pap report (the one with HSIL) and what it said about your HPV? Negative or Positive?:confused: I will guess your are HPV negative (likes me) or your doc would have say something to you regarding the HPV issue?? If you really... (7 replies)
