Hi everyone,
I was referred by GP for heavy bleeding and unusual discharge 3 weeks ago to gynaecology. Got appointment on Wednesday morning for scan which showed endometrium thickness of 25.6 mm with few cystic areas and a pipelle biopsy was performed. She said I would get an appointment for hysteroscopy under General anaesthetic.
I literally only left the hospital and recieved a phone call offering me appointment for Friday and a pre op appointment for Thursday the day before. It's now Sunday and its only hitting me now how quick this all happened. I left hospital yesterday as I had to stay overnight. I'm 58 years old and my mind is in overdrive. They performed the hysteroscopy and took another biopsy. The only thing I was told was that I would be contacted with the results. I dont know why I didn't ask more questions but I just wanted to get home . If the endometrium has cystic areas does that mean it isn't cancer or could it still be cancer ? I'm worried sick here now as it all just happened so quick.
