[color=black][/color] Confused

I have recently been told that i have adenocarcinoma (cancer) of the cervix, i've only just turned 24 and have only been married for 15months! I am in hospital this week for scans etc to see how far the cancer has spread, what i want to know is;

A- I have read theories that having sex at an early age, and being on the pill for a long time gives you cancer, I was raped at 16 and the man did not use protection so i went on the pill for the fear of it happening again and me becoming pregnant with a child from a rapist! If this is true then why give such a dangerous pill to young people who (whether they want to or not) are having sex earlier?

B- With so many young people having sex early why have they upped the age restrictions on smears to 25? I had to beg my GP and Nurse to smear me and they refused, in the end I had to threaten my GP with letters of complaint to medical officials unless he referred me to a someone who would help - eventually he did - now i have cancer! Mad

C- Before my treatment starts is it ok to have sex with my husband even though we both know it makes me bleed?

D- How successfull are trachelectomy's? I would like this procedure if my cancer hasn't spread too far, as me and my husband have been trying to get pregnant for nearly a year now.

Asides these questions my only concern is that i can get pregnant afterwards, i don't care about surviving cancer as all i want to be is a mum, i feel that this is the reason i am on earth and without this, life for me just isn't worth it, i think other people think i'm mad for not caring as much about my life as do about having children!
