hi all,
i recently had my yearly physical done which included having the dreaded pap test done.....ugh! anyways, i got the call last week from my ob/gyn office that the results came back showing agus or the atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance. i am going to have a colposcopy done next wednesday but i just can't seem to stop thinking that this all means that there is something seriously wrong with me. i'm so scared. i know that i haven't taken the best care of myself when it comes to diet and exercise. i just recently started the process to have lap band surgery so i know i am going in the right direction when it comes to that.
i guess what i am trying to ask is if anyone has had these results before and what exactly all this means. i keep looking up information on the internet but it all says the big "c" word that i don't want to think about right now. the pa at my gyn office said that she wasn't too worried about it because the cells weren't big on the specimen and i have no abnormal bleeding between or with my monthly cycles. does this result guarantee that somewhere down the line i am going to have cervical cancer? are there other reasons that my pap may have come back abnormal? my pap tests in the past have all come back okay. i just wish i could have the colposcopy done this week so i could clear my mind of things.
please help!

So sorry for your worry but these aren't questions we can address.
Here is a website I found:
