Brief Answer:
More information needed

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

To be of some help to you, I need some more information:

1. At the age of 24, your hysterectomy was performed for what indication?
2. What type of hysterectomy was it? Total or subtotal?
3. When and where did you have squamous cell carcinoma?

Let me inform you that carcinoma is cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma is cancer of squamous cells. It seems you are having squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. That leads to the inference that your hysterectomy might have been a subtotal hysterectomy where the cervix was not removed.

If the carcinoma has recurred, you need to undergo more radical treatment, may be radiotherapy. How many years after CO2 treatment, this carcinoma has recurred?

Please furnish me with the information asked above so that we can discuss your issue further.

I would like to see all your previous reports. Please upload them.

Brief Answer:
Not a cancer

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

It seems now that you did not have cancer of the cervix. It was HPV infections and you had undergone preventive total hysterectomy since this infection can lead to cervical cancer. Now your uterus and cervix, both were removed. So HPV from cervix were out.

Now in which organ or tissue were HPV detected lately? Please upload the reports.

You never had carcinoma. What you are having is HPV infection and not Carcinoma. HPV is a causative organism for cervical and anal cancers. If your cervix is removed and the HPV are not affecting anus, you need not be worried. Just keep a watch with regular follow up monitoring.

If you want any more information or advice, I am always available for you, XXXX. You may post a review with 5 starts rating for me.
