I am 59 , had breast cancer 4 years ago so after mastectomy have been on tamoxifen ever since. Periods stopped August 2018. Beginning of November had a week of bloating and mild pelvic pain so rang GP. NP suggested blood test CA125 which came back a few days later as slightly high at 39. So then fast tracked for TVS which showed ovaries ok no mass or fluid but picked up thickening of uterus 18mm. So gynae appointment 24th November. Tried to take a biopsy via hysteroscopy but cervix wasn't planning ball despite a lot of trying which was stressful. Gynae said he would send me for an MRI to see if the lining was in fact 18mm in which case he would do another hysteroscopy under general anaesthetic or if its was polyps would remove them again under GA. I haven't had any bleeding so gynae didn't seem bothered but having done some research I know you can have womb cancer without a bleed. Feeling really worried as going for MRI results tomorrow. MRI was 3 weeks ago and feel like its been a lifetime waiting. Worried and confused why he didn't just do another hysteroscopy under GA to get a biopsy done. Does he already know I have cancer and checking if its spread. Feel like I have wasted a month because if I do need a hysteroscopy biopsy it wont be till after Christmas and then possible wait of another 3 weeks so end Jan which will be 3 months from first reporting symptoms. Help , going crazy!!! Sorry X
I agree completely with @walkinglady - the waiting for every next step, appts, results etc etc is really stressful and yes, the whirlwind of emotions it brings, particularly in the early hours. I will be thinking of you tomorrow - fingers crossed you get the answers to your questions. If it is any consolation, I get very tetchy in the couple of days before appointments, or when results are due! My husband also has the laid back approach - he feels no need to worry until we are told there is something to worry about! Sooo annoying when I am full of worry about every possible scenario. Take care and fingers crossed 
Hello Vivh, welcome to our little corner of the community and i can see you have already had some lovely responses. Firstly i can honestly say all the waiting seems endless, and is actually in some part the worse because our mind are in overdrive thinking all kinds of things and its scary. My journey was difficult in it took near 12 months to get a definitive answer to all the problems i was having and fobbed off with just fibroids, put on the pill for months and feeling worse, but i did have irregular bleeding. But we also know that sometimes our bodies respond to things differently. MRI imaging is really good and they can see assorts in them which is why they are incredible, it gives them a guide to what is happening. We can all say its a whirlwind of emotions and its easy to say not to worry about it until you know what is going on, but we know you will worry, whatever they see or not. Consultants seem to all have their own ideas of how to proceed and maybe they felt a scan would be helpful to do first and if they feel it’s necessary to go for a hystroscopy and take a biopsy. Fingers crossed for you today at your appointment, I hope you get some good news but whatever happens please know everyone will be with you today and sending you some support.
Sending some gentle bear hugs
