My gosh! I'd be angry too, and in fact I was angry when I got treated with that exact response after one of my own PAP smears many years ago. (I've since had a hysterectomy for other reasons, not cancer).
My mother died from cancer of the cervix and she's only been gone a few weeks when I was told that although my PAP smear showed atypical cells...... I wasn't to worry about it, but to come back in 12 months for the next one.
I explained that my Mom had just died from cancer and that I'd feel better if I had my PAP repeated, and asked if they'd do another one just to reassure me.
The gyno refused, so I found a different gyno that very day........had my PAP repeated and although it came back totally clear, I never did go back to that other gyno.
How dare they play God with our bodies?
