Hello! Onc nursing is a bit out of my relam, sooooo....

I was wondering if any of you have any informtion on cervical adenocarcinoma in situ? I have done quite a bit of research on it (though none of it has been overly productive in getting me answers...) and am going to see an ob/gyn/onc for a second opinion next week. I am just curious to know your expereinces/thoughts/suggestions/good questions to ask the doc.

I was recelty diagnosed with this (after a cone that showed CIS/AIS with clear margins...) and now have some big decisions to make re: treatment (hysterectomy recommended vs. pregnancy then hyster), etc.

I would love to know any thoughts or good questions I should ask the doctor next week! thanks in advance...

If You Dont Mind Me Asking, What If Any Were Your Symptoms? How Long Between Normal Pap And Diagnosis?

Sorry it took so long to reply! I had no symptoms. I went in for my yearly annual pap and it came back abnormal. A few weeks later I had the colposcopy after than which showed CIS (and when it was reread by another pathologist that specializes in womens gyn cancers it showed CIS and AIS). A few weeks after than I had a cone biopsy, which also showed both CIS and AIS. I had not ever had any abnormal paps prior to the that one. So from initial abnormal pap to cone was about a month and a half.

Incidentialy, we did see and gyn oncologist who recommended a hysterectomy as well, but since we were interested in having a child she recommended that we try to get pregnant as soon a we could and when our childbearing was complete that we have the hysterectomy. We got pregnant the first month we tried (about two months after the cone) and are due in a little less than two weeks. I will probably have the hysterectomy sometime shortly thereafter.

If anyone has any new or good information or sees this alot, I am still interested in opinions!
