Hi, I have read through some of your experiences & journeys & think you are all amazing. I found some inspiration & comfort to realise I'm not being dramatic with my concerns at the moment.
So long story short as possible.....Had gyne issue for years, cervical precancer cells removed twice (20 & 30s) then past 5yrs + began regular pain, bloating, clots, heavy prolonged bleeding, bleeding after sex etc, now 50, so told peri menopausal, IBS etc. Pushed back occasionally as was becoming draining & stopping me doing things. Laporoscopy 2021, no endo, but polyps, fibroids & ovarian cysts found. Told not concerning, wait & see. Had colposcopy last year, apparently all OK. Still in pain, new gyne, suggested mirena fitted. 3 months later, still in pain etc, had TVS which come back as Adenomyosis, polyps & displaced mirena. Gyne recommended hysteroscopy & mirena removed.
Chased for 10 months! (Got mirena removed myself via GP after 3 mths) Got another new gynaecologist! (he's fab, came highly recommended) Finally had hysto biopsy, polyps removed & new mirena on 29th Jan. Found procedure fine, was strolling around M&S an hr or so later!
Expected letter in 6 weeks or so. Got a call on 15th Feb to go in on 21st or 28th for 'follow up'. Found it odd but initially shrugged off. Took the latter as have meetings in work on the 21st. Kicking myself now as starting to get really concerned. Found out the hospital oncology clinic is Wednesdays only & the appointment isn't with my gyne but another consultant who is an oncology specialist! No further details from my call to hospital today except my original consultant has a telephone app booked with me for the month after?
Would it be unusual to get results from a different consultant unless they are related to their field of expertise? (My gyne specialises in pelvic/urogynocolgy)
I'm quite pragmatic & realise the diagnosis won't change between now & then but I'd rather know sooner rather than later & prepare myself. Also realise I may be letting my imagination run away with me but it's hard to explain, it's like I know something is different? If that makes sense?
I hope you can get some answers soon.
