Everything started with a regular gynecologist appointment. Or maybe not that regular since I had been postponing it for two years because honestly I am deadly scared of medical appointments... And I think that was my biggest mistake. Health should never be taken for granted.
When they were taking the sample for my pap smear, the gynecologist told me I had a small lesion on my cervix and told me about possible causes. Between them it was HPV (Human Papillomavirus). I tried to stay calm, until I couldn't fake it anymore and started crying, he kindly told me I should stay calm because we still needed to wait for the results and that it wasn't something uncommon, that it happened to a lot of people. I couldn't help but think about the reason my relationship ended, because my ex was pretty much a serial cheater and despite not being the moment for looking for someone to blame, it was hard not thinking about it.
Todo comenzó con un chequeo ginecológico de rutina. O quizá no tan rutinario pues tenía dos años sin realizarlo porque sinceramente me dan pánico las consultas médicas... Y creo que ese fue mi gran error. La salud no es algo que se deba dar por sentado.
Al realizarme la citología, el ginecólogo me indico que tenía una pequeña lesión en el cuello úterino y menciono las posibles causas. Entre ellas estaba el VPH (virus de papiloma humano). Intenté mantener la calma, hasta que no pude más y rompí a llorar, amablemente me indico que debía estar calmada ya que aún faltaba saber los resultados y que no era algo poco común, que era algo que le ocurre a muchas mujeres. No pude evitar recordar el motivo por el que terminó mi relación, pues mi ex me engañaba constantemente y si bien no era momento de buscar culpables, no dejaba de pensar en ello.
I got home crying and I couldn't even eat, as days went by I started to be calmer because I needed to think about what I had to do instead of crying all the time. Everything was in relative peace until I got the call for my results. Turns out I have AGC (atypical glandular cells), which is usually indicative of cervical cancer.
I immediately felt the urge of vomiting, I felt everything moving around me, couldn't breathe, I couldn't even cry.
Llegué a casa llorando y no podía ni comer, con el paso de los dias me fui calmando ya que debía pensar en lo que debía hacer en lugar de estar llorando sin parar. Todo estaba en relativa calma hasta que me llamaron para que buscara los resultados. Resulta que tengo Células Glandulares Atípicas, lo cual suele ser indicativo de cáncer cervical.
Inmediatamente sentí ganas de vomitar, sentía que todo se movía a mi alrededor, no podía respirar, ni siquiera podía llorar.
The nurse was holding my hand until the doctor said it was time for action and the steps to follow, biopsy being the first so it was determined the necessary procedure to attack the problem.
I have been very anxious mostly for the economical part of this because I can't really afford treatment, not even the biopsy. So I am under a lot of stress and I can't stop thinking about it and what I am supposed to do, at the moment I just try to stop fear from freezing me and to see things clear, hoping I can solve this puzzle in time.
La enfermera estuvo tranquilizandome mientras el medico me dijo que era hora de iniciar la acción y los pasos a seguir, que lo primero era la biopsia para luego determinar de que manera atacaremos el problema.
Una de las cosas que más me genera ansiedad es la parte económica, pues honestamente no cuento con los recursos para costear el tratamiento, ni siquiera la biopsia. Así que eso me ha generado mucho estrés y no puedo dejar de pensar en que se supone que haré, por el momento solo intento evitar que el miedo me paralice e intento ver las cosas con calma y claridad, esperando poder resolver el dilema a tiempo.
I'm saddened to hear this, as medical problems are always rough, especially while waiting for test results. I hope it is something simple, instead, something easy for the doctor to treat! My thoughts and prayers are with you for some positive news! 🙏
Thank you very much, it is a small lesion so it should be no biggie even if it is malignant. I have the biopsy appointment for next week because I have been bleeding a little and I'm on treatment so it stops and they can take the sample.
