Safe to wait after Adenocarsioma cells?

Several months ago I rec'd a bad pap, THe pap showed mildly abnormal, but the Colposcopy came back advanced adenocarsioma. So I was referred to an Oncologist who performed a conization. Since then I have had 2 clean pap smears and next month my oncologist will release me back to my regular OBGYN. They has stated they want me to have a radical hysterectomy once I had children. It's my understanding that the type of cells that I had are sporatic and more agressive. Should I be concerned about waiting to have kids? I plan to start trying later this year but I keep thinking maybe I should wait? Is it safe to prolong the hysterectomy. I find comfort in the clean pap smears but I'm not sure how quickly it could return and progress.  Thanks!!

I apologize I wasn't clear. The biopsy came back with advanced stage pre-cancerous cells that were Adenocarsioma. They didn't not say that I had cancer, but that I had advanced pre cancer cells. So my OBGYN referred me to the Oncologist. She said that she could have performed the cone herself but would rather the Oncologist follow me for a little while since my cells were Adenocarsioma. I've read and have been told that those cells are more likely to reoccur or show up in another place. Is this true?

Hi,

Since a conization procedure was done and the pap smears have come negative. I think what you had was not advanced cancer but stage 0 in which the cancer is confined to the surface of the cervix. I would suggest you to go ahead and plan your family and you can have a hysterectomy after that so that the cancer does not recur. Take care!
