The treatment for HPV was laser surgery, so Dr. Zuckerman performed the surgery in his office and I was instructed to come back in two weeks to see how I was doing.

Two weeks later I was healing and he said he needed to do another PAP test in 2 months to see if the laser surgery got it all.

Unfortunately the laser surgery did not get all the infection and I had to have what is known as a “cervical conization” which is invasive surgery done in a hospital. The pain was excruciating.  

My ex-ex-husband still did not get checked and when I told Dr. Zuckerman he said that I should not have intercourse with him unless it was protected.

We never did have intercourse again. That was about 9 months before I left him.
