she just found out she got
Chlamydia and her docs said that looks like she had it for years and had now damaged both of her tubes .

She is only 25 and had been with her BF for 8 years so her BF is infected too and gotta get checked out too.

Also on her smear test the docs found Pre-cancer cells. She had a biopsy and is waiting for the result by next week.

Her and her BF does not want kids but she said that she wish she had the choice not to have kids

i want to hug her so hard xxxx

Also precancerous cells are NOT cancer. Chlamydia is a totally different issue to smear tests. A smear wouldn't test for chlamydia. Hope your friend is OK now. Even blocked tubes needn't rule out babies for her as IVF can be very successful if the tubes are the only problem.

I interviewed a young American woman who had years and years of horrible, frightening invasive treatments for various supposed cervical abnormalities, and was pretty horrified to find that in the UK they told her everything was now normal and she was fine. She couldn't believe it (literally) but this is often what happens if you do smears too young and too often. She'd had a miserable time.
