I'm 22 and I've had three pap tests in a row that showed abnormal results. Showing AGC cells. I've had no pregnancys or misscarriages or anything. They have referred me to a speialist that I have to wait up to a few months to even get in contact with. Now they are telling me I possibly have cancerous cells. Cervical cancer does not run in our family. I don't know what to think about this AND my nerves are shot.. what if I have cancer. They gave me a perscription after the first pap saying it would clear it up. Now they are saying giving me that was pointless because it didn't do anything. I looked the drug up and it wasn't even for what they were trying to help. It was for bacteria increases.. and that's not what I had. I have had NO discharge or anything. Should I be worried because I'm frothing at the bit her

Why do you have to wait a few months to contact the specialist? Could you contact another specialist?

Since it is a referral from my doctors (other wise I have to pay for it myself) I have to deal with whenever they get ahold of me or that is what I was told. There is only one place with speciists near me that I can get to (since I don't drive) and they all work in the same building and I was told the wait time would be the same no matter which doctor they would be sending me to

- And now a few words about the state of the health care system in the US and Canada - <sigh>

Sadly I'm in canada not the US. So it proves how bad the state of all our health care systems are

Abnormal Pap Tests (http://www.cwhn.ca/resources/faq/abnormalPap.html)

Jesushelper. Thanks. You just freaked me out more lol. The doctor told me my AGC didn't mean I am positive for HPV or that I may be affected with it. But the website you sent me said it did. Also I checked other websites and they didn't say anything like the one you gave me for AGC. Though the website didn't state anything about plain AGC only AGCUS. I was referred for colposcopy though and that page didn't say anything about being referred for one in that area
