Re: Dr. Lee recommended a second pap smear.

In his book, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause, Dr. John R. Lee advises, "You are almost always a long, long way from cancer when you have cervical dysplasia...In other words, unles you have a Class IV or Class V pap smear, it is rarely a reason to panic or rush into surgery. Take the time to get another pap smear from a different laboratory, as well as a second opinion from another doctor. Nearly six out of eight times, the second pap smear will come out negative." (pp. 108-109)
