Was anyone told on the day of hysteroscopy it didn’t look suspicious, only to receive biopsy results to say it’s cancer?

Interested to know if anyone experienced this. On day of hysteroscopy ‘Hysteroscopy was performed and this revealed good views. Both tubal were clearly visualised. The
endometrial cavity looked normal, however it appears that the anterior and posterior wall to be thickened as
well as a small endocervical polyp was noted. A directed biopsy was performed and polyp removed.
Specimens were sent for histology.’

i was told it didn’t look suspicious and biopsy results 4-6weeks. Was anyone else told this only to find the biopsy results came back as cancer? 

it’s two weeks since hysteroscopy, so potentially another 2-4 weeks for results.

    The waiting for the results is really tough. I hope they come back quickly and provide some reassurance for you.

    It sounds promising that the person doing the hysteroscopy didn't feel anything looked suspicious. It sounds as though they had a thorough look and it was only the polyp and the hyperplasia (thickened lining) that were picked up on.

    However it is only the biopsy results that will be able to say for sure. 

    I will pop a link here that will help explain the hyperplasia.
