hi, a friend was just diagnosed with cervical cancer. her pap came back NORMAL it was the HPV test that came back abnormal and with further testing it was determined she had cervical cancer.The only reason the dr. did the HPV test on her was because there is some cancer in her family history. Now i'm wondering why the pap didn't pick this up? I just had my pap which came back fine and my dr. only does the HPV test if your pap comes back abnormal. Should i insist on the HPV test? Thanks!
