So..
I arrived at the GP's to chat about the fibroids. He was very reassuring, fibroids are very common and mine were only small and it was usual practice to leave them be unless they were large enough to cause problems. I was about to leave when I noticed on the screen results that the endometrial thickening had also been flagged.
The GP said he wasn't too worried about this but could arrange for further investigation. He said it was nothing to worry about unless there are certain other risk factors present such as unusual bleeding etc. I pointed out the bleeding back in Feb and he turned to me and said
"OK well now this is a cancer conversation" and explained about the two week fast track appointment for a biopsy he would get started on.
I think i may have been in shock.. that one sentence kept ringing around in my head all day.
