Cervical Cancer Survivor Micheline Fornarotto Shares Her Story with theHPVtest.com
Posted on Friday, September 28th, 2007 at 8:33 AMAre you like Micheline Fornarotto – married for years, a history of normal Pap tests, and never a sign or symptom of an STD?
When Micheline’s gynecologist, Dr. Alan Welt, asked for Micheline’s consent to order an HPV test along with her Pap, she thought, “Sure, why not? I have nothing to worry about.”
But when the lab returned her HPV test results, they showed she had an infection with a high-risk type of the virus (even though her Pap looked normal). Six months later, a repeat HPV test showed the infection was still there. That told Dr. Welt that further examinations were needed. And they showed that Micheline had an early stage of adenocarcinoma – a form of cervical cancer that frequently goes undetected by the Pap test. Luckily, however, her cancer was caught early enough to spare her the need for chemotherapy and radiation.
Now on theHPVtest.com, watch Micheline and her doctor tell her remarkable success story. If you weren’t already convinced about the importance of getting the HPV test, you will be.
