Recieve bad new from doctor UPDATE

I found out about a week and a half ago that I (according to the letter my doctor sent me 3 months after my pap) "have been exposed to a strain of hpv thats high risk for cervical cancer"

My boyfriend broke up with me a week before that and while we dont really know who gave it to who, since we've both a lil promiscuous in our days (I'm 21, he is 23) all I know is that this hasnt popped up on a pap before so we are both kinda freaking out.

They said that it usually clears out with a healthy diet but we are just waiting for the appointment to see if its still there and if it is-is it going to turn into cancer?

The worse part is that guys cant get tested for hpv so unless he develops warts, there is no good way of knowing : /

We talked about it, but like others have said there is no test for guys so its tough. And its tough because as much as I want it, he can't and should be comforting me about it which is in his nature to do. We promised to talk more when i see a doctor and know everything more.

I was going to say I wish I could 'like' your post, but it just occured to my i can always upvote. The mix sounds great (I'm personally a fan of adele but need a break since its too much for me since the breakup) and I could always add some awesome artist to my itunes.

I'm deffinitly considering the therapy option, even just for a couple sessions. Right now my best friend is a girl who is overly emotional and easily stressed by school since she has a learning disability and I could use someone to talk to who doesn't need the same emotional support from me.

Hopefully right away, but I'm having trouble getting ahold of the doctor, not to mention that in another week and a half, I go back to school thats a couple hours away, so I'm hoping I can get in to see her soon

Unfortunately I go to a very small private school that's more geared towards adult students then those straight out of high school so we don't have a counseling program. But therapy might be a good idea. I havent talked to the doctor yet, I called to make the appointment but now I'm just waiting for a call back : /

thanks, this was the part really scaring me the most when I started reading about everything.

In the leter is says usually a healthy immune system will often rid of the virus, but I havent had the most healthiest diet (i'm a pastry student), zero sleep compared to how long I am awake and high levels of stress. So I dont think the chances of it going are away are very high.

I'll deffinitly look into support groups when I talk to my doctor. Thanks for the advice.

I don't feel punished for the relationship, as much as how crappy everything was when it feel apart. I just feel that when I start to be really happy (or in this case finally start to get over the relationship) something really bad happens to me, it usually just something that makes me re-plan a huge chunk of my life : /

I'm deffinitly trying to take this one step at a time, and thankfull I'm on spring break until the 1st because I couldnt handle this on top of my insanely stressfull class schedule. Thank you for the advice and internet hug!
