Sure, but I'm somewhat @nal retentive when it comes to my medical records so I asked for a copy of the pathology report. The doc looked at me funny, but let me have it.
I feel better knowing what THEY know. It's MY body after all and they don't have a right to keep things secret from me when it deals with it. That's IMHO, mind you.

I was told that too. But the research I did on possible causes of abnormalities indicated it as well. So I felt pretty good about that. Rather safe than sorry, however.
The first time I had an abnormal pap and knew nothing else, I had myself dead and buried before I saw the doc. I also had myself convinced that there would be nothing wrong (talk about exact opposite thoughts!). It was a happy thing that there was nothing to be concerned with--the lab results were a false abnormal. Whee!
