Hi
I havnt written here before but have read a lot of your blogs
i am 68 and after a bout of Covid at Christmas I had a bleed was not able to see a dr until mid January due to the Covid and he referred me to a gynocologist … I was not examined and she told me I probably had cancer and sent me off to London for a scan
the scan showed abnormalities and they tried to do a biopsy which was unsuccessful and very painful and I was sent back to the original gynaecologist who said my weight was a factor and I needed a specialist dr … I was then referred to dr Ind in Harley street … he was very nice and said I needed to have a biopsy which he would do under general anesthetic in a couple of weeks … he also mentioned my needing to loose weight … after the biopsy he came to see me and told me I had had some fibroids removed and also a couple of polyps and to see him in a couple of weeks … results showed no cancer but a focus on one of the polyps …. He said he would run things by in his next meeting which resulted in them saying I need a hysterectomy
I have since lost 22 kilos by dieting my hysterectomy is on 23rd may and I’m so anxious as I’m still overweight at 128 kilos … worried about my age …weight …. And complications after op
thanks for reading
