Test results

Hi there hope you are ok it really is a anxious rollercoaster I was seen by my consultant on the Monday and had the mri that Wednesday due to a cancellation.my cns did explain mri Is usually a week or two after first meeting hope this helps xxx

Thank you for your reply. I don't think I thought about cancer as a possibility until yesterday. My consultant didn't really say a lot other than showing me the screen and saying about the bleeding. I just put it down to my usual problems as I have had problems with my periods since l first started. xxx

Fingers crossed it isn’t have they not done a biopsy? Also how old are you cx

I am 56. The consultant said when she was looking at my womb that I may feel a tug, don't know if she was doing a biopsy as she didn't say. Didn't see her with any thing. 

Hi Amycdi  and welcome to our little corner of the Online Community. Here you'll find a lovely group of supportive ladies who have all been exactly where you are right now. A possibility of cancer diagnosis brings all sorts of stress and fears and if anyone can hold your hand and reassure you we will. We're all at the start, in the middle or the end of what can only be described as a roller-coaster ride. The ride no-one wanted to get on.

The NHS seem to be able to get things moving despite the pandemic so sometimes you'll get a letter, others a phone call so I can understand that you're anxious. We all agree here, the worst thing is the waiting between tests, results, consultations and getting things done. I've also found take a notebook as I think of all my unanswered questions as I get back to the car!

I'm assuming they've hinted at endometrial cancer as you've joined this forum so it might also be a good idea to download this booklet Understanding Womb (Endometrial) Cancer I found it invaluable in my journey. 

If you want to ask any of us any questions please come back and do so. There's always someone around.

Hi Amy, Sorry to see you here.

i started my menopause when I was about 47. I missed a period and thought I was pregnant. I was tested and told it was an early menopause. I then had heavy periods or no periods until I completely finished when I was 54. I thought I was never going to!!! I never knew where I was, and refused HRT due to lots of problems with hormones after 2 miscarriages. 

The tugging you describe was not unlike my biopsy. I could feel him snipping bits off!!! 

Whatever the cause you are best to get checked out. If it is cancer the sooner its found, the better. Good luck xxx

Hi there, thanks for replying to me. I have been told I have an MRI week after next so hopefully won't have to wait too long for results.  All the best to you xx

Spoke to my consultant yesterday and she said they could not do a biopsy. Apparently didn't do one in 2017 either just a scan to check thickness of my womb lining as I have 2 wombs and they couldn't do it with my anatomy.  (I was under GA at the time)
