Just because you have abnormal cells from a pap does this mean you will get cancer?

No. Having abnormal cells show up on a pap smear does not mean you will get cancer.
However, abnormal cells can sometimes be a precursor to cancerous cells, and for that reason, it is very important to continue to get regular pap smears so that your healthcare provider can track any further changes in the characteristics of these cells, and if cancer does develop, hopefully catch it at a very early stage.
