So my girlfriend just found out a couple of days ago that she has a type of HPV that can turn into cancer. Her doctor told her not to worry excessively about it because as long as she gets checked out every 6 months they can get rid of it if it turns cancerous. My girlfriend is unconsolable about this. She keeps saying she wishes she was dead. She is focused on the aspect of possibly not being able to have children later on in life because of this. No matter what I say to try and make her feel better or try to calm her down she always just tells me "don't say that please". I have no idea what to do about this, I want her to be happy, and to stop over reacting about it. It is something that can become scary but she's talking about it like its the end of her life. Her doctor said "if" IF it turns into cancer it MAY make her unable to have kids if she has to get a hysterectomy. I've tried to tell her to listen to her doctor and to not be over worried about it but this makes her upset more. Last night I just held her and she cried and cried and I guess it made her feel a bit better, but am I supposed to do that and only that all the time? I need to know how I can help her feel more comfortable about this and hopefully make her see that its not the end of the world for her.
