Hi all,
I need some advice please.
I have a follow up appointment this Friday to discuss MRI & repeat biopsy results. I have endometrial hyperplasia with atypia which was confirmed after the initial biopsy on 26th October. The consultant repeated the biopsy “on a larger scale” on 19th November to get a better picture to confirm if cancer cells are present or not. I was told there’s a 40% chance there is, but they were not sampled in the initial biopsy.
I was called last Friday to confirm the appointment and I asked if it would be with the consultant - I was told no, that it was with his registrar who he works closely with. Would it be normal for a registrar to deliver a cancer diagnosis?! I’m grabbing on to any little hope that it’s not progressed to cancer!
If you could shed any light, I’d be so grateful.

Hi
I was phoned at home by a senior nurse.
It would have been the nurse who did my biopsy but she was off the following week so we arranged that the senior nurse would phone me at home.
I did have the option to go in for an appointment but I preferred to have the phone call.
After being told over the phone, I did have an appointment later on with the consultant who would be doing my surgery.
I hope it goes well on Friday.
Jane
