THE ABNORMAL PAP SURVIVAL GUIDE · FREE
It’s 2am and you’re still searching for what your Pap result actually means.
You were handed a result you didn’t understand, told someone would follow up, and sent home. So you searched it, and within about four minutes the internet had you convinced you have cancer.
Here is what is actually true. Most abnormal Pap results are not cancer. Most HPV infections clear on their own. And the waiting, which is the hardest part of this, is not a sign that something is wrong.
This guide explains your result in plain language, maps out the follow-up path so the waiting stops feeling random, and hands you the questions to take to your next appointment.
A free 30-page guide to understanding your result, what happens next, and exactly what to ask your provider.
No fear tactics. Just clarity.
What’s Inside:
What your result actually says. ASC-US, LSIL, HSIL, and CIN 1 through 3 decoded in plain words, including why even CIN 3 is a risk state and not a cancer diagnosis.
What happens next, and roughly when. The full follow-up path, what a colposcopy involves and what it can’t tell you, and when treatment is recommended instead of monitoring.
Fifteen questions for your next appointment, sorted by where you are right now. Bring them with you, because you will not remember them in the room.
The four things that do not change your outcome. This is the list that saves you money, and it is the one nobody selling to women in your position wants you to read.
Worksheets to keep it straight. A results tracker and a timeline, because this runs a year or longer across more than one provider.
Meet Dr. Kate
I’m Dr. Kate Hadfield, a naturopathic doctor in Calgary, and I’ve supported hundreds of women through abnormal Pap results, high-risk HPV, and cervical dysplasia.
I’m not attached to which path you take. If monitoring is right for you, monitor. If a LEEP is right for you, get the LEEP. What I care about is that you understand your result well enough to make that call yourself, and that you feel steady while you do it.
You don’t have to do this alone.
