Hi Char G.,
I know how overwhelming it is when you first learn about HPV, having it, and needing to have precancerous cells removed from your cervix. I've had cells removed more than once. I had a leep, cone biopsy, and cryoablation done to remove cells. Since then (2005, was first diagnosed in 2002), I have had no recurrence, have given birth to two children, and am happily married. Having HPV and cervical dysplasia is not a death sentence by any means. The best thing you can do is be diligent about following up with your scheduled visits with your doctor. And be sure to use protection (condoms) if you are not in a committed relationship.
For more information, here is an article about cervical dysplasia: What is Cervical Dysplasia?
Good luck and let us know how you're doing.
