3 years ago this week I found out that I was cancer/hpv free. yes, I know your gonna say ok you can’t really be HPV free, but according to my dr….I am. I have no Markers or anything that would show you that I ever had HPV unless you just happened to know. I was lucky enough to not even scar!
It really does still make me feel akward that I had the lesions,etc..as in I don’t want people to think about me as a NASTY UNCLEAN person just because of that. It isn’t right. Just because you end up with something like that doesn’t mean that about you AT ALL.
It also doesn’t mean you are poor,and uneducated or anything like that. I am an upper middle class gal, with plenty of background and knowledge about sex,etc. I wasn’t stupid enough to not think that something couldn’t happen to me. Of course, HPV wasn’t a really big well known issue back then as it is now..It was just starting to pop on to peoples radar.
I had alot of support. I mean how many guys do you know out there who will actually put the sulfadine cream on your laser burned skin where they had burned off your lesions? I had someone who would.
This time of the year always makes me remember the best christmas present that I ever got, and that is to be cancer & hpv free. It will always be my christmas miracle.
I could write more about it, but i’m gonna save it up. those were just some thoughts I had jambled up in my head…
