Hi everyone, this is my first post. I hope it’s okay to post in here as I haven’t actually been diagnosed with anything as of yet.
My story is quite long winded. A few years ago now I was diagnosed with CIN 3 and had Lletz treatment to get rid of it. Everything was fine up until last year when symptoms returned but worse than before. My periods are horrendous, I’ve always passed clots but these are massive, awful back pain, constipation, breakthrough bleeding and pain when having intercourse.
I finally booked myself in to the doctors in December last year thinking the cells had returned but the doctor told me she couldn’t do a smear due to me not being ready for my recall. She referred me to a gynaecologist for them to do further tests, referred me for a scan to see if it could be anything else and also did an internal while I was there where she found a polyp on my cervix.
I attended my scan as this appointment was before the gynae and I got called back in to the surgery for my results where I was told I had a 19mm think endometrium. She advised that she would be sending me for a repeat scan. This is where I am going to sound stupid, the doctor didn’t stress the importance, when I heard think womb lining I assumed I had endometriosis or something and so I cancelled all of my gynae and future scan appointments. I have a son with additional needs so he has been more of a priority.
Anyway fast forward to last week and my doctor rang me, she wasn’t happy with me cancelling my appointments. I confirmed that I would attend my next gynae appointment but asked whether the scan was really important and that’s when she dropped the bombshell. She told me if my scan results were those of a woman in her 50’s or 60’s she’d be getting diagnosed with cancer. I have to have another scan at a different tjme of my cycle to see how thick my lining is as apparently 19mm is very abnormal.
I have my next scan on the 24th of this month and gynae on the 25th. I guess I’m just looking for advice on what else it may be other than cancer, or the likelihood of it being cancer? I’m only 31. I realise that no one here can diagnose me but if anyone here has similar stories, similar age, similar womb lining then I’d love to hear any advice.
Sorry I’ve rambled so much and thank you
