I was advised to post here I had introduced myself on the welcome page. I have been doing the “Google” thing which i know you shouldn’t do. I had a hysteroscopy biopsy at the beginning of the year and was told it was ok but they couldn’t view all of the...
Had a biopsy 4 weeks ago and the consultant said he would write in 3 weeks with results. Our post is terrible but assumed no news is good news. Just received a letter to book an MRI appointment but doesn't say why. Would be nice for them to communicate...
