(((((((((((kayla83)))))))))))--for one with "issues in self-esteem and depression" you sound as if you are handling this beautifully; via educating yourself on the topic and knowing what you need to to in future. KUDOS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I send you hopes that you will, in time "shed" the Human Papillomavirus in the future. Many do. It took me 15 years, but blood work drawn at that time showed that I had "shed" it completely.

I wish you all the best,,, and send you hugs...you are very strong, whether you see it or not...this dx is a shocker (to me? 6 weeks aft my son was born? ugh--culposcopy, cauterization of my cervix, and freezing....ugh...)

All gone now... I will keep you in my thoughts...........Pax, Virago
