In the woman, an elevated PAP value (PAP 3) was found 9 months ago during a preventive checkup. She was told that this needed to be monitored further. At the follow-up examination 4 months later, PAP 4 („cancer precursor“) was found, as a result of which a biopsy was ordered and the doctors urgently recommended surgery.

What had happened? The affected woman was a single mother of two children when, 5 years ago, she entered a new relationship in which she was very happy. She and her partner lived in separate apartments but were together a lot, and he had clothing and other personal items in her apartment. About 3 years ago, she came home with her children one day and found, on the kitchen table, the apartment keys that her partner had had from her; his things were gone, and there was a short letter stating that it was „over“. For her, that was a severe sexual conflict affecting the cervix, which in the active phase causes ulcers, i.e. tissue loss. The rise in PAP value is a visible sign of the healing phase, meaning she must have resolved this conflict at least 9 months ago (the first measurement of the elevated PAP). And indeed that was the case. A little over a year ago, she met and fell in love with a new man. She says: „He's my lucky find.“

Since she was not familiar with New Medicine at the time of the diagnosis, she now found herself torn between trusting her own body and the doctors' recommendation to have surgery. She decided to have the surgery, but no further treatments such as chemo or radiation; she is doing well today.
