Hi,
I had a uterus biopsy 2 weeks ago as I had an abnormal bleed (I'm 60). It wasn't for long, about 5-10 minutes, wasn't heavy but came with the old period pains I used to get.
I was told at the biopsy that results can take 3 weeks, after 2 weeks I recevied a call saying I had a 2nd appointment to discuss my results for this Friday May 7th. so 2 weeks after the biopsy. Today I have received a call to say that the gynecology department have referred me for an MRI scan which is also this Friday. None of the departments will discuss anything over the phone so I waswondering if anyone can help me with what the chances are I have cancer? I have no other symptons and have only had the one bleed. I am scared to the point that I cannot talk to anyone as I am really tearful so thought maybe someone on here could help with maybe what the chances are of this being cancer seeing as I have been called back within 2 weeks. Sorry if I am rambling and sorry that my question isn't as important as those of you who have been diagnosed, I just don't know who else to ask.
Thank you.
Hi Mamaden and warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community although sorry that you had to find us and especially sorry to hear about your ongoing diagnosis.
The cancer diagnosis process can be challenging in so many ways but talking with others who are or have walked the same type of cancer treatment journey will help you navigate this difficult time.
