Hello,
I've recently had a Trans vaginal ultrasound which has shown i have thickened lining of the uterus -23mm! I have previously had issues with thickened lining 5 years ago (it was 12mm reducing to 8mm)and there was no follow up treatment as they did a biopsy and all was clear.Â
I'm 40 ,no children and my periods have always been bad , but over the past year I've had horrendous periods with enormous blood clots and a lot of pain. Following my period ive experienced intermittent watery clear /pale yellow discharge and also passing what looks like flesh coloured muscular tissue. Just after xmas i had the worst period ever with terrible pain down one leg and in my hip and then i passed a huge blood clot - approximately 30cm wide. The pain in my side and leg instantly passed and then i had a period thar was just constant huge clots.Â
I visited my doc (3 week wait for an appointment) and they felt it was likely to be fibroids,so sent me for the TV scan. The scan apparently showed healthy muscular tissue and that there were no fibroids but they couldn't find my ovarie?! The lady doing the scan told me that there was thickening but that it was ' different' Â to the thickening of the uterus from last time and that i should call my doc in 24 hours to make sure i am referred to Gynae. That alarmed me and i have been nauseous with worry since.. Everything i have read points to Uterine cancer and hysterectomy.Â
After speaking to the doctor today, i am now waiting for the urgent referral to the Gynae and feel utterly wretched with worry. I haven't got children despite my husband and i trying, and I feel that this makes it quite clear that children aren't going to happen for us.
From reading online - everything seems quite scary and that this must mean cancer. My doctor has given no indication what will happen next with the Gynae -can anyone help?Â
The waiting just feels awful - i know i need trying and stay postive but nothing I've read says anything postive....
Â
Fingers crossed for tomorrow I hope all goes well. It certainly a good opportunity to ask your oncologist all these questions about your seroma. I haven't as as far as I know experienced that however I do get some tenderness around my scar. I hope after all the time back and too the hospital that you have some relief now and I hope you feel better soon, its early days anyway from a hysterectomy but I hope you don't have anymore complications.

Hello,
Thanks so much for the best wishes and prayers.
Histology results of the growth in my womb sho adenosarcoma stage 1B, it had grown a little bit into the womb wall but at this stage they think it was all contained. I'm being referred to The Christie, think for further scans to see if theres any spread and to see if i meed more treatment.
My Oncologist thinks i may not need more treatement but won't know until the other scans come back, and dhe is going to look at my ovaries to see if the histology shows any spread to there through receptors or marker pr something i didnt actually understand!?! Essentially i would quite like to keep them as i dont fancy the menopause too, she feels they may be able to be kept but obviously they will want err on the side of caution!
Feel a bit numb as it seems like bad news, but then good news as its low grade and maybe by having the hysterectomy already the worst is over.... just that horrible fear of Chemo that scares me so much feels a step closer.
I kind of feel like, what do i do now, just carry on as normal and it feels like a dream.
Apparently i now get a card saying i get free prescriptions ... is that for life?! Well, at least theres a postive in this! 
Not sure what else to say... all feels a bit bizarre...
