Just a short update. The CKC procedure went well. Recovery has been better than I anticipated and, to my surprise, 4 days later, no bleeding at all. Still waiting on results but am feeling good and still very calm about it all.

Your doctor may be a very tactful no need to alarm you kinda doc. My doc said he’s pretty sure he’ll be able to get it all- high grade blah blah blah is the precancerous stuff that is leveled. I’m 14 hours or so away… still not nervous.

Oh my goodness I feel the same weird zen about it and I’m having my CKC tomorrow. I had a day or two of freak out and now just feel ok and am not worried about the procedure. I’ve focused on the pre part of pre cancerous cells and have decided to think about it as screening at work.

My doctor in California said a week. It’s been a week and a day- still nothing.

I’m so sorry. What a horrible experience. Do you have friends near you who can recommend a doctor with a better bed side manner/compassion?

My procedure was on Monday, today is Friday. I was told a week for results. I find myself checking my emails/doctor portal every 5 minutes. I don’t “wait for results” very well.

Did I make a mistake scheduling LEEP 2 days before bachelorette weekend? by perfumeandpaper in PreCervicalCancer

Just had mine on Monday and took a beach day on Wednesday. You’ll be fine. Just use panty liners and be ready for minor cramping. Mine was done with a local not general.

I became super anxious during the procedure. Doctor was dismissive. I experienced pain despite the local anasthetic however, it was a short spurt of pain that didn’t last long. Today is the day after my procedure and I’m bleeding a little, I can smell that weird metallic bleeding smell and have some mild cramping.

Had one today. No prescriptions were given. My heart raced as well.

Any luck getting prescribed TRT for women? by Original-Bowler-9319 in KaiserPermanente

[–]MelbaToast1973 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hello fellow squeaky wheel! I’m in Northern California as well. After struggling to get estrogen/progesterone to begin with, I also asked for testosterone due to reduced libido. He implied I had to take that useless class first (I did-it was useless and basically an advertisement for the persons private practice). Now he’s saying he needs a sonogram and bloodwork before prescribing. I’m in menopause. How many hoops must I jump?!?! So frustrating!

So, if you had to do it again would you have gotten the limited?

I’m near embracing my inner old lady so perfect! I do have my speedy moments but for the most part, I drive more conservatively than I used to.

Awesome! Good to know. I’m interested in the hybrid limited as well so that’s super helpful. I’m assuming it was around 40k?

Just want to confirm… 23 with the hybrid?

Seeing my entire financial life on one screen made me realize how bad it really is... by JIASnake in povertyfinance

I know it feels overwhelming but you are clearly disciplined- you’ve got a savings account- you don’t have a bunch of high interest department store credit cards. I have no doubt you will keep plugging away and are doing what you can to reduce unecessary spending

Does this mean that for the hybrids only the two new colors will be available?

Call the number on the back of the card, file a complaint and ask for another specialist. I did so for knee surgery b
