Dr. Omar Eton answered

Specializes in Hematology and Oncology

Await Path report: If Pap smear was done, a path report will be available in less than a week from your doctor. Long list of possibilities from benign, scar, infection and, of course, cancer. All of these can be managed well in 2014 so be patient while the report is brewing.

Dr Seibert and 6 doctors agreed
