I’m an OB/Gyn nurse and I see this a lot! My first pap at 21 was abnormal, and thankfully the rest have been fine since. Its so important to get your screening pap when you’re due for it! Especially if you’ve ever had an abnormal pap in the past. Early detection is key to a good prognosis! Love the awareness you’re bringing to it❤
Your videos are literally so therapeutic! You’re the only content creator I can watch anytime of the day while being productive 🤍 I look forward to your hauls, IG posts & RUclips videos when I open my social media, we appreciate you!
Hi Toni, Thanks so much for sharing your story. I am actually the person (Cytologist) who gets to screen those cells once they get sent back to the laboratory and prepared for cytological interpretation. This is such an important topic to bring awareness to as many people have no idea how to read their results or just get told from their clinician it came back "abnormal". An abnormal result can be put into several categories: ASCUS (atypical squamous cells- unknown significance) meaning it is probably nothing or there weren't enough cells to positively identify dysplasia. LSIl is next which means a low-risk HPV or HPV effect was identified, then HSIL (broken into moderate and high grade dysplasia) this means how far down the dysplasia has reached as it progresses toward the basement membrane. Carcinoma in Situ (CIS) comes next which is the final step before progression into cervical cancer which is when the cells spread beyond the basement membrane. There is also glandular atypias as well. Additionally, HPV high risk testing is not an alternative to pap screening. I have found dysplasia in women who came back HPV negative for all high risk types. It is not 100% and should not replace cytology even if a clinician indicates otherwise. Some countries have only HPV primary screening and many women are falling through the cracks
THANK YOU for talking about the Pap tests. I’ve been dealing with normal/abnormal results back and forth for years now and it’s definitely scary and NOT talked about enough. You are amazing for this❤
I am a cytotechnologist and I look at Pap smears every day! there is not enough information out there regarding Pap smears, thanks for bringing awareness to the topic !!
Hi Toni good morning happy Thursday morning and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
This is not coincidental! I know the message of your abnormal pap was meant for me to hear. I too just got back abnormal results today. I immediately freaked out and thought the absolute worst. I will be going in on Tuesday for my colcopsy procedure and the wait is just haunting me. THANK YOU for speaking about this!! It was the reassurance I needed to change my mindset to everything will be ok 🙏🏽💕
You got this! The procedure was really Quick and similar to a Pap test. My dr. Suggested to take an ibuprofen half hour before the procedure so maybe ask if that’s something that may help your situation. Best wishes doll 💛
I have been getting colposcopy’s since i was 22, every 6 months. I am 28 now and my doctor said it was time to get the LEEP procedure which i am recovering from now. You’ll do just fine! ❤
I love your vlogs. Hopefully you have nicer weather coming soon. 🙏🏻 Also, I didn’t see the Rubik’s cube video linked. My daughter wanted to check it out. Thank you! 🙏🏻
Thank you for talking about this. When I got abnormal results years ago my anxiety was so terrible and I felt so alone and I still have anxiety anytime I know I have a pap coming up. This helped ❤
Try putting the olive tree on a plant stand on the floor. It's too short to be placed on the floor as is, a stand would give it some height. I would try adding some greenery stems to your white vases on the shelves.
I think on that window bench a small book, as if you were reading at some point, a pillow and blanket will be cute for now. The plant would probably look cute on a small stool on the floor but away from the bench by the corner of the wall, if that makes sense.
idea for your bench, maybe put the olive plant in a woven basket. i think it looks off since its white on white and that whole area is alot of white. btw your home is so beautiful!
Thank you for existing girl. You’re the only reason why I still watch youtube. During my mommy breaks usually at night this is the only thing i watch before bed. You’re so relatable and for some reason gets me in the mood to be more productive. Love ya!
Toni just an idea on the bench by the window where the blanket is and the tree take the tree down and put a pillow and see how it looks! You have great taste I'm sure you will come up with something ! Love your vlogs going to try your pasta dish and see how it turns out thank you for sharing 🌻❤️
In regards to the Pap smear exams.. I know that in NY at some point they were or still are pushing women to get them every 3 years which I think is ridiculous. In 3 yrs time a lot can happen, I myself advocate for myself and push my GYN for an annual exam. I did once upon a time have an abnormal exam and I drag it on until the doctor has no choice but to administer the darn exam. I’m so happy you addressed this and hopefully encourages your female viewers to get them done annually and stay on top of it. ❤
Thank you for sharing about your abnormal test! Completely unrelated to a pap, but I’ve been having left breast pain for the last few months and now have to get a mammogram and ultrasound. Definitely terrified, but trying not to overthink it.
It’s also worth noting that pap tests can come back abnormal due to human/lab error in administering the test! So sometimes it simply means doing futher testing just to confirm everything is perfectly normal
thank you for sharing your story!!! i have my pap smear exam scheduled this month! the importance of getting an annual pap smear exam isn’t talked about enough - thank you for normalizing that experience, fingers crossed that my exam goes smoothly! ❤
Thanks for talking about the pap- I’m literally dealing with this right now. In 2017 I had abnormal, but the doc said they were fine. I haven’t done a pap since then and now I just went again and have abnormal. I got the biopsy but my cells are heightened at a 2 and 3- right before cancer. My LEEP procedure is on the 27th. They can’t freeze them because the levels are too high, already being a level 3. I don’t do well with gyn stuff- the biopsy was so uncomfortable for me, so I’m going to the OR at a hospital and they’re going to use anesthesia for my procedure. My OBGYN said that’s common people opt for that route for the LEEP procedure- it costs more money but the comfort is better. I’m very stressed about it, but as I talk to women I’m comfortable with they say they’ve dealt with this at some point also, but none have had to go to the LEEP procedure because their cells were more of a level 1/2, not like me with level 3. I’m glad you’re raising awareness. I should have stayed on my annual paps and could have prevented this procedure by catching the cells in level 1/2 and just freezing them. So ladies, schedule your pap if it’s been a while- here’s your sign!
I am currently recovering from a LEEP procedure. My doctor has been following me for 6 years and said its time to get the LEEP. It’s a very quick procedure, the thing that took the longest was the preparation. I was level 2/3 as well after being level 1, level 2, back to level 1 and then 2/3. My doctor is following me 6 months, 6 months then 1 year. If everything looks good after that he will discharge me. Wish you the best!!
I'm loving all the positivity and storytelling in these comments. So happy to have opened up the conversation here! Sending both of you positive vibes and wishing you the best :)
Everyone here in the comments is so supportive! I’m currently dealing with a new dx of uterine fibroids pending removal via an embolization procedure in about two weeks. Women’s gyne issues aren’t talked about enough! It can be a scary thing to get abnormal results and the exams themselves are so invasive
I wish you would have a meet up. I live in Canada and love all your content. You are so genuine and down to earth and caring. Thank you for speaking about your test results. I have been dealing with the same issue for a bit now. I was fine but this year I had abnormal results. Waiting on my next test very soon to double check what's happening to move to the next stage. Awareness is key thank you for talking about it for all of us ladies, especially the younger ladies that may not know. ❤
Hey Toni! I had an irregular pap and then an abnormal pap so I had to do a colposcopy and they found high risk pre cancer cells so I just completed a LEEP procedure literally 2 weeks ago from today. I felt so alone and like no one else was going through this especially at my age (27). I just got married in July and was planning on getting pregnant so this put a bit of a damper on my timeline in my head but I’m finally feeling better mentally and more open to talking about it. If you need any support or have any questions feel free to reach out! 💗
I had an abnormal result once too. The colposcopy was the most painful thing and the nurses were not very supportive about it. Next time I will request to be put under - I don’t care if it’s quick or how much it costs! Have someone drive you home afterward and take you out for a big ice cream!! Hugs
I've had like 4 or 5 of these haha. Did you take ibuprofen before?! should just feel like some pinches!! but I totally understand the uncomfortable feeling.
I’m an OB/Gyn nurse and I see this a lot! My first pap at 21 was abnormal, and thankfully the rest have been fine since. Its so important to get your screening pap when you’re due for it!

Thank you so much for the information!

Omg I went through the same thing, my second year in a row now and the exact same fear and anxiety was so real. Thank you for being open 🌟💛

Try putting the olive tree on a plant stand on the floor. It's too short to be placed on the floor as is, a stand would give it some height. I would try adding some greenery stems to your white vases on the shelves.
I’d say a cushion and blanket on the bench with a lamp just on the counter next to it would make it inviting and like a little reading nook 😊
I think on that window bench a small book, as if you were reading at some point, a pillow and blanket will be cute for now. The plant would probably look cute on a small stool on the floor but away from the bench by the corner of the wall, if that makes sense.
What about adding a hanging plant in the corner above the bench?
Loved this video 🥰
I would recommend for that corner to put a couple cushions for a cozy vibe 😁😍
idea for your bench, maybe put the olive plant in a woven basket. i think it looks off since its white on white and that whole area is alot of white. btw your home is so beautiful!
Add a seat cushion and some gorgeous pillows to that corner. The pillows will add height and balance the space.
No link for solving the RC

I love that Sunday comfort sweatshirt but can’t find it online…is it a local shop in Montreal?
Its old from Princess Polly!
@@ToniSevdalis oh wow thank you! lol
Can we get this in Canada?
Thank you Toni for talking about the scary Pap test results!
Thank you for sharing about your abnormal test! Completely unrelated to a pap, but I’ve been having left breast pain for the last few months and now have to get a mammogram and ultrasound. Definitely terrified, but trying not to overthink it.
Why don't you make your own window cushion...purchase a piece of foam and fabric. The.pasta looked very good!
Thank you for sharing about the abnormal paps ❤️
It’s also worth noting that pap tests can come back abnormal due to human/lab error in administering the test! So sometimes it simply means doing futher testing just to confirm everything is perfectly normal
I love these vlogs! Perfect pairing with a cup of coffee and as I do my makeup in the morning for work ❤

Good luck doll 💛! Treat yourself to a coffee or tea that day 😉
Fingers crossed for you! ❤️
Do you have a link for that travertine tray on your coffee table? I love it and I can’t find a good one anywhere!!

The Kilian apple brandy perfume is my FAVORITE for fall time. Not sure how to describe it but it smells amazing!
I’ll have to smell it!! 😍
Thank you for sharing ! Your home is beautiful!
Everyone here in the comments is so

Good luck with your procedure ❤️ sending positive vibes!
What lip combo are you wearing in this video?😍
I think you should out the blanket on the other side and put a pillow on it
where are your bowls from that you had the pasta in?! so pretty
Okay I seriously need to try the pasta and banana bread recipe! It made me hungry just watching it💕😋
Both such good and easy recipes 😍😍
I say keep the olive tree but put it in a larger planter !
I love your vlogs!
I will definitely try the banana bread.
Going to try the pasta tomorrow night🍷
It was so easy and delicious!
Can you please link your dining room chairs that black wooden ones 😊
They’re from article!!
babe the code doesn't work

ok now I want that nutella banana bread like yesterday. and all the YES, ladies - get your paps!!!!! So important to go every year
I think the olive tree would look really good on a plant stand ! Structube used to have some inexpensive ones !!!
I work at an OBGYN office and I see this so much. It is definitely scary not knowing. Thank you for speaking about this Toni!
You should try the Stefanos sauce it’s amazing!
I had an abnormal result once too. The colposcopy was the most painful thing and the nurses were not very supportive about it. Next time I will request to be put under - I don’t care if it’s quick or how much it costs! Have someone drive you home afterward and take you out for a big ice cream!! Hugs
I've had like 4 or 5 of these haha. Did you take ibuprofen before?! should just feel like some pinches!! but I totally understand the uncomfortable feeling.
Where’s the checker foyer rug from? :)
leo at 27:56 literally made me laugh out loud!! :)
Where is your cardigan from??
I want to know too ❤
😁🙏🏽👋🏽
